Pre-Admission

Santiam Hospital & Clinics strongly encourages you to educate yourself as much as possible before delivery, and to consider making a birth plan. Your actual labor and delivery may not go exactly as intended, but it is helpful to have an idea of what to expect, and a list of your desires for each aspect of labor and delivery. The more active your role in the planning stage, the more empowered you will feel during the birth.

Post-Admission

Hospital Discharge Process
Before you and your new addition leave the Hospital, one of our nursing staff members will share discharge information and follow up instructions with you. You will be asked to sign the discharge instructions and will be provided with the copy of the instructions. You we encourage you to ask as many question as possible before going home.
