Award Winning Maternity Ward
Jordan Valley Medical Center – West Valley Campus features seven labor, delivery and recovery (LDR) suites. In late 2013, the entire maternity ward – including the lobby and the private LDR suites – received a total makeover, complete with new flooring, lighting, furniture, countertops, mirrors, and more. The end result is a more comfortable, home-like atmosphere, which includes an adjustable bed, jet tub, and a large, comfortable sofa that can be turned into a bed for your partner, spouse, or birth coach. Our comfortable LDR suites minimize what stress you may have by allowing you to go into labor, deliver your baby, and recover in the same suite. Should you require a Cesarean section, we have a fully dedicated operating room within the maternity unit.
Postpartum
Once your baby is born and you have had a chance to recover, the two of you will be moved into the postpartum unit, where the same nurses will care for you and your baby. Sharing a room with your baby is encouraged, as rooming-in gives families time to bond and helps new parents learn how to care for their infant with the professional assistance of our nursing staff.
All nurses are BLS, NPR, STABLE (in the nursery), and ACLS certified. In-room television programming is also available to educate new parents on infant care.

Infant Protection Services
Jordan Valley Medical Center – West Valley Campus uses the Hugs Infant Protection system for infant security in the OB unit and throughout the entire hospital. After birth, we place a small monitoring band around your baby’s ankle, where it remains until you take the baby home. The band, which is completely safe, transmits an electronic signal to a nursing station and alerts nurses if a baby ever moves too close to a maternity unit exit. This system allows us to provide your family with the peace of mind that you and your baby are correctly matched and completely safe at all times.
Breastfeeding Services
We offer lactation assistance for mothers who choose to breastfeed. All our nurses are trained in lactation and can help you learn the best techniques for feeding your baby and how to be sure your baby is getting enough milk.
