Bringing New Life to the Mountains Vail Valley Medical Center's mission is to bring premiere obstetric and neonatal care to the Vail Valley and surrounding communities. We strive to serve our patients' needs with excellence, professionalism, dedication and compassion. Our facility is state-of-the-art, designed to deliver health care services in a relaxing and attractive setting. Philosophically oriented to our patients' and their family's needs, we focus on partnering with them to provide optimal family-centered care. Lifelong learning is supported and valued as a way to continuously improve the quality of patient care.
For women, this facility ensures continuous contact and involvement with their families, newborns and support persons. Patients feel more secure and comfortable in a home-like setting, and therefore gain a greater sense of physical and emotional well-being. Moreover, LDRP (labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum) rooms encourage earlier bonding between the mother and baby, as well as greater involvement by the partner. The Women & Children's Center encourages "rooming in," or keeping your infant in the room with you until discharge, which has been shown to improve breastfeeding rates, sleep, and parent-infant bonding.
For physicians and nurses, the LDRP concept provides more direct family contact and patient support. The opportunity to educate patients about childcare and postpartum issues is also enhanced.
