The Central Peninsula General Hospital’s Family Birth Center offers personal care in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. And should an unexpected need arise, our family of physicians and state-of-the-art medical equipment are right here, providing you peace of mind. Our dedicated physicians, midwives and nurses are proud to offer you a variety of birthing options.

Our facilities
Our Family Birth Center is designed to meet the individual needs of parents and babies. Our birthing rooms and postpartum rooms are all private and equipped for mother’s and baby’s comfort and safety. Labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum (LDRP) all take place in the same beautifully decorated room.

Our Family Birth Center
At CPGH, we recommend that you plan a tour to meet our staff and see our facilities. Your tour will give us the chance to answer any questions or concerns you may have about the birth of your baby. We encourage moms to complete the admissions paperwork before the due date, so you can be as relaxed as possible when the date arrives.

Our caring side
CPGH offers one of the best nurse-to-patient-ratios in Alaska. We have professional, compassionate nurses with you during your labor. Comfort measures, including epidurals and a Jacuzzi tub, are available. We offer a slower-paced family oriented approach for your birth experience and complimentary massage or Healing Touch treatments for every new mom

After the baby is born
At CPGH, we encourage family-centered approaches to birth. This includes keeping mom and baby together as much as possible. Our physicians and nurses are available to help you learn to care for yourself and your newborn and to answer any questions you may have about breastfeeding or any other concerns. We also have a Lactation Consultant available to get you and your baby off to a good start!

Special help
While a majority of pregnancies, deliveries and babies are healthy and normal, some patients do need specialized care. Should an emergency situation arise, our highly-skilled medical experts have state-of-the-art equipment and the know-how to provide the care you may need. Cesarean Section deliveries are available at CPGH. If your doctor feels a Cesarean is needed, our staff is ready to make sure your experience is as safe and comfortable as possible.
