Our Approach

When the big day arrives, your OB will help ensure you have the resources and support you need through labor and delivery of your child at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital (SRMH).

• Holistic Childbirth - The Family Birth Center at SRMH is a holistic space for your baby’s safe and happy entrance into the world. We listen to you, respect your preferences and address your concerns. Our programs are designed to support your unique and personal birth plan.
• Alternative Pain Management - We offer virtual reality goggles as an alternative way to manage pain or anxiety at your prenatal appointments, and during the birth of your child.
• Highest VBAC Success Rate - If you want a vaginal birth after a previous cesarean (VBAC), we have the highest VBAC success rate in the region and are one of the few hospitals in the area that offer this service. We help you understand the benefits and risks of a VBAC so you can make an informed choice about your delivery options
• UCSF Intensive Care - Most babies enter the world without needing special services after delivery, but if they do, the UCSF Intensive Care Nursery at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital is ready around-the-clock to care for our tiniest and most vulnerable patients.
• The Midwifery Difference - Nurse-midwives offer a holistic approach to pregnancy and birth. We recognize pregnancy and birth are a powerful and transformative stage in your life. We partner with you in this process and support you to make informed, empowered choices for your health. We believe in your body’s ability to birth your baby safely, but if the need arises, our CNMs work together with our physician colleagues to provide safe and satisfying care. Learn more.
