Expect the Latest Technology


At Sacred Heart Women’s Hospital, you can expect access to the latest advances in childbirth technology to ensure that both mother and baby have a safe, comfortable delivery.

We are committed to investing in the latest technology and training our childbirth team in the most cutting-edge advances in childbirth techniques. Newer technology means fewer complications, less pain, and less worries for anxious parents-to-be.

Electronic Fetal Monitoring

Our facilities feature electronic fetal monitoring to monitor mother and baby’s heart rate to see how each is tolerating the stress of childbirth. If anything should go wrong, our nurses and staff will be notified immediately to ensure the safety of both mother and baby.

Our new wireless feature allows mothers to be mobile and still be monitored throughout their labor process. This means greater access to alternative pain management techniques and the freedom to move about during delivery.

Childbirth Simulator

At Sacred Heart, we believe that the best way to gain expertise is to practice, practice, practice. That’s why we’ve invested in a childbirth simulator – known as Noelle – to train our physicians, nurses and staff how to deal with routine and complicated pregnancies in a no-pressure situation.

Our state-of-the-art model “mom” can be programmed with over 40 common and uncommon childbirth scenarios, helping giving our childbirth team more experience and more learning opportunities than any other hospital in our region. This training ensures that all of our childbirth team members are ready for every delivery – no matter what the complications.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

In the event that complications do occur during your delivery, our Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is right down the hall to care for premature and critically ill newborns. Our 58-bed intensive care nursery features specially made equipment for the tiniest babies and a dedicated quiet area with semi-private rooms for the most critically ill babies.

For more information, please visit the

NICU home page.
