Special Care Obstetrics

The Special Care Obstetrics unit at Good Samaritan Hospital specializes in caring for women with high-risk pregnancies who require additional attention and may need to spend extra time in the hospital. Depending on the circumstances, expecting mothers can be admitted into Special Care Obstetrics anywhere between six weeks and full term, making a typical stay range from hours to weeks.

We treat patients with wide variety of conditions, and provide a comprehensive range of tests to continually monitor you and your baby’s progress throughout the duration of your stay. We work tirelessly to ensure that you and your baby receive the quality outcomes you both deserve.

Intensive, Specialized Care

Both Good Samaritan Hospital, with its Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and Bethesda North, with its Level II Harold and Margret Thomas Special Care Nursery, are equipped to care for babies that may need extra attention. Our multidisciplinary team provides tender care for newborns in a quiet and calm environment – the type of atmosphere that is crucial for development as your baby grows and matures.

One way we create that environment is by encouraging you to become involved in your baby’s care. That means you and your family are welcome at any time. We also invite you to participate in our morning rounds, during which, our multidisciplinary team discusses your baby’s plan of care. We strive to provide family-centered, developmentally appropriate, and compassionate care in a supportive environment for you, your baby and your family.
