Maternity Center Tours

(Free)Tours of labor and delivery and the maternity care center are designed to answer your questions about the hospital and what to expect when you arrive to have your baby. Sibling Tours cost $5 per child and are for families with children ages 3 to 10.  For the duration of the flu season, it will be up to the discretion of the nurses whether or not the children will be allowed onto the unit.  As a result, during this time, we request that two adults accompany the child(ren) so that after the activities in the Center one can stay downstairs with the child(ren) and the other can go upstairs and tour the units.
