EXPECTANT MOTHERS BROUGHT

something unexpected to healthcare
providers last year: more bundles of joy.
It was the first time since the onset of the
recession in 2007 that the U.S. fertility rate
saw an uptick. And as providers likewise
rebound, more and more are starting to
free up capital dollars to respond to the
women's and infants market by delivering
their own new life-facilities projects.
Obstetrics units and labor and delivery
rooms of old often don't support today's
modern approaches to the birth experience, from hydrotherapy to enhanced
family support, which is inspiring refreshes,

To achieve a spa-like feel
in Park Nicollet Methodist
Hospital's Family Birth Center
in St. Louis Park, Minn., the
team chose a white tile for the
sides of its birthing tubs. But
as the first phase of rooms was
completed, it was soon realized
that the nature of birth posed
challenges to keeping that tile
white, inspiring the team to find
a glazing option that facilitated
cleaning and kept the look
desired. "I'm so glad we kept
it that way, because it's stayed
clean and beautiful. When you
walk in, it feels very supporting
and spa-like, and it's one of the
things our patients compliment
the most," says Katherine
Todd, clinical nursing director
of the Family Birth Center and
perinatal services.

Large postpartum suites were developed by
updating existing LDR rooms at Park Nicollet's
Family Birth Center, opened in March 2014 and
designed by AECOM. Existing procedure lights and
medical gasses were maintained to allow flexibility
in use, though, with medical equipment stored in a
wallmounted modular furniture system.
