Mount Auburn Hospital Opens Birthing Tub Room and the Simonds Center for Women

Mount Auburn Hospital is pleased to announce the completion of renovations made to the Bain Birthing Center’s labor and delivery departments, as well as the hospital’s Simonds Center for Women. These expansions enable the hospital to continue to provide comprehensive care in all aspects of women’s health to even more patients, as well as to offer a variety of different birthing methods for expectant mothers.

Renovations made to the Bain Birthing Center include an overall facelift to the current space and select rooms, and the addition of two more labor and delivery patient rooms, one of which includes a birthing tub. This free standing tub room is the first of its kind at Mount Auburn Hospital. In addition to the renovated rooms, the Birthing Center also now has a new nurse’s station, reception area, and more, to provide an intimate setting with advanced technology for childbirth.

Construction on the Simonds Center for Women at Mount Auburn Hospital has also recently been completed and the center began accepting patients at the end of 2013. The new 7,000 square foot center consists of 10 exam rooms, waiting room, and support space for all staff members and equipment. The Simonds Center for Women is dedicated to bringing together many of the services that women of all ages need, including obstetrics, gynecology, Midwifery services, family planning, genetic counseling, menopause management and more.

“At Mount Auburn Hospital, we strive to meet and exceed the unique needs of our patients and this construction is for the benefit of our patients. With these recent renovations and additions, our team of physicians, nurse practitioners and midwives, can continue to offer the compassionate, professional care in all aspects of women's health, that we take pride in,” said Jeanette Clough, President and CEO of Mount Auburn Hospital.
