It’s all

about baby

AROUND 800 BABIES

enter

the world every year at Archbold.

And from the very beginning of

a new baby’s life, the hospital’s

priority is to provide a nurturing

and family-focused environment.

For the past several months,

physicians and staff at Archbold’s

Maternity Center have focused

on developing a “family-centered

care” model (also known as cou-

plet care) and implementing evi-

dence-based best practices that

are considered essential elements

for optimal maternity care.

For years, it was standard

practice at hospitals across the

country for mothers to recover in

a hospital room after birth, while

their baby was cared for sepa-

rately by a different nurse in the

hospital nursery.
