Family-Centered Care for Pregnancy & Childbirth

Having a baby is one of the most exciting, life-changing moments you’ll ever experience. Our Family Birth Center team partners with you on your personalized birth experience to give your baby the best start in life.

Safety is key when looking for a place to give birth. At Huntington, we always plan for the unexpected. When looking for an OB, make sure they deliver at a hospital like ours that is well-prepared to handle all possible complications. We created this safer birth flyer, to let you know what questions are important to ask when choosing an OB.

Huntington Hospital is the safest place to have your baby, your way.

Our team has redoubled efforts to ensure we have protocols in place to keep you and your baby safe during this challenging time.
