Flushing Hospital Medical Center recently completed the final phase of its project to modernize the entire fifth floor of the hospital which includes the Labor, Delivery and Recovery (LDR) suites, Mother/Baby Unit, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and Newborn Nursery.
The renovation project, named New Beginnings, provides a complete expansion and renovation with the latest amenities to provide the ultimate mother/baby birthing experience and accommodations for families in our community.
The Labor, Delivery, and Recovery unit at Flushing Hospital now offers 11 brand-new, spacious suites to deliver your baby. These specially designed units provide our patients and their families with the ultimate birthing experience, including sleeper beds to accommodate a support person or doula’s overnight stay. In addition, the LDR unit boasts a 4-bed labor evaluation center, 3 state-of-the-art operating rooms for those patients who require a cesarean section delivery, as well as a 4-bed post-anesthesia care unit.
The Mother/Baby Unit now offers 28 private rooms to patients. Each room is designed to provide a relaxing environment for mothers and babies to bond while receiving advanced postpartum care. New design enhancements and amenities include private ADA-compliant bathrooms with showers, an electronic information board, and a bedside tablet for mothers. The unit also emphasizes patient safety by including installing an enhanced air circulation system capable of providing negative pressure.
Lastly, Flushing Hospital also modernized its Level 3 Neonatal Care Unit (NICU) with new monitors and equipment to provide optimal care for low-birth-weight babies or those born with complications.
