Personalized and Holistic Approach

emotional, and mental well-being. They are trained to support a variety
of birth preferences and are dedicated to making your birth experience
as positive and empowering as possible.
High-Risk Pregnancy Care
While you may deliver with a midwife if it is medically appropriate, if
you become high-risk during pregnancy or delivery, your care may be transferred

you and your baby. Stafford Hospital also partners with Children’s
National to provide world-class neonatology care at our
Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
