Mother-Baby Care

TeamBirth

The goal of TeamBirth is to improve outcomes for birthing people and their babies through team huddles during key decision points throughout their hospital stay, ensuring they stay at the center of their care team. Shared planning boards, TeamBirth huddles and decision-support aids help provide all team members, including the patient, with an opportunity to participate equally.

TeamBirth focuses on diversity and equality in the healthcare experience. TeamBirth reflects our commitment to improving communication and promoting positive change by focusing on the clinical and social factors that are shown to improve patient experiences and outcomes.

TeamBirth is rolling out state-wide in Washington in collaboration between the Washington State Hospital Association (WSHA) and Massachusetts-based Ariadne Labs, supported with funding by Ballmer Group.

​Each year, hundreds of babies enter the world at Confluence Health Hospital. Our experienced nursing staff strives to provide the highest quality patient care in a helpful and respectful manner. Open 24 hours a day on the second floor of the patient tower, our Mother/Baby Unit features numerous amenities for mom, baby and family. We are looking forward to being a part of your birthing experience.

When you think you are in labor, or your doctor or midwife tells you to come to the hospital, please check in through the Emergency Department. They will get your paperwork started and will bring you to the Mother/Baby Unit. The Emergency Department uses the entrance with the red wall.

Confluence Health Hospital is proud to accommodate infants requiring level 2 care in our special-care nursery. Depending on circumstances, parents are able to stay in the room with the infants if desired.
