A Special Place for Special Babies Childbirth is a natural process, and most pregnancies are healthy and uneventful. But about 10 percent of mothers and newborns need specialized care. Doesn’t it make sense to educate yourself about warning signs and screening options, and to choose a childbirth facility with all the special services that you might need? Good preparation can bring peace of mind – and might make all the difference to the newest member of your family.

Legacy Emanuel Children’s Hospital In extraordinary circumstances, Legacy offers an extraordinary resource for new parents: a hospital dedicated solely to children. If your newborn required even more advanced treatment than the Salmon Creek NICU could provide, mother and baby would be transported together to Legacy Emanuel Children’s Hospital, the facility of choice for the region’s pediatricians. Legacy Emanuel boasts more than 90 pediatric subspecialists, and an entire staff who are uniquely qualified to attend to the smallest of patients. It’s unlikely that you’ll need such above-and-beyond care. But isn’t it reassuring to know that if you do, Legacy will be there for you?
