Memorial Family Care Birthing Centers

At Memorial Family Care Birthing Centers, we celebrate family-centered birth, close to home.

Why Parents Choose Memorial

When it comes to your pregnancy you want to make the right choice for you and your newborn. Whether you're looking for compassionate care, safety, or a private room, Memorial Family Care Birthing Centers offer everything babies and moms need. Family and friends are encouraged to be present and provide support as much as the mother wishes while staying at Memorial.

Level II and II E Nurseries

Memorial Family Care Birthing Centers' Level II Nurseries can accommodate babies who require specialized care due to premature birth or other health issues. Memorial Hospital Belleville offers a Level II Nursery and Memorial Hospital East a Level II E Nursery. The Level II E Nursery has everything the Level II Nursery does, but its team also cares for babies who are a little earlier (as early as 30 weeks), a little smaller (as small as 2.75 pounds), and a little more fragile (those on assisted ventilation). The Level II and Level II E Nursery staffs work with the family to educate them to the unique requirements of their baby, so they are comfortable with the newborn’s care.

Specialty Newborn Care

Washington University Physicians in Illinois, Inc. neonatologists and pediatricians from St. Louis Children’s Hospital provide coverage for all newborns at Memorial's Family Care Birthing Centers, including those who may require care in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU).
