6 Bringing health care news to your home The obstetrics team includes board-certified lactation consultants in our recently expanded lactation support program. When babies need extra care The maternal child health department features a special care unit for ill and premature infants born as early as 34 weeks. Because CCH can care for babies with special needs right here in Columbus, parents can stay closer to their babies while the little ones transition from hospital to home. “We make sure you can be with your baby as much as possible,” Eisenmann said. During their stay in the unit, babies receive special medical care, including services such as oxygen and nutrition support. The nurses work closely with pediatric hospitalists and other providers to deliver exceptional care to these babies. Nurses and other providers work to ensure that parents feel supported while their babies are in the unit. After a baby is discharged from the unit, the care team provides referrals to other support services as needed. Caring for families (continued from page 5) A welcoming area for patients recovering from surgery The same highly trained team also provides postsurgical care to you if you’ve had a C-section, hysterectomy or another gynecologic procedure. Surgical recovery rooms are sectioned off in a quieter wing to promote comfort during recovery. The close collaboration between nursing staff and physicians at CCH enhances the care experience during your recovery journey. “We work closely with the gynecologic surgeons who perform these procedures,” Eisenmann noted. “We know their preferences and maintain good communication with them.” scan Discover more!
