BirthPlace at Avera St. Luke's 

Where Small Miracles Happen

We're very excited to offer state-of-the-art facilities in our new maternity unit, the BirthPlace, located on the fourth floor of our southeast expansion project. We moved into the BirthPlace in January 2006.

Consumer, physician and nursing focus groups were conducted in planning for this space. We offer families what they asked for: a serene, spa-like, family-focused maternity service. Our goal is to provide the perfect environment for families to share one of life's most amazing experiences.

Some of the features of our new facilities are:

• Single room maternity care in spacious rooms, specially designed for privacy and quiet
• Sanijet whirlpool tubs in every room
• Triage area for antepartum testing and outpatients
• Comprehensive, integrated electronic security for newborns, patient, family and provider safety
• Sleeper sofas for fathers choosing to stay overnight with their new family
• Entertainment centers with TV, VCR/DVD/CD players
• Large waiting areas with family kitchen and sibling play space
• Central nursery with a celestial theme and a rainbow-shaped window, where our Small Miracles can hang out when Mom wants a rest or if baby requires special care
• Dedicated elevator directly to the Operating Rooms for cesarean births

We look forward to serving you in the BirthPlace at Avera St. Luke's, Where Small Miracles Happen.
