presence in the East Cooper area to better serve the health care needs of our established patient base, as well as expand our patient base through population growth,” said Hospital CEO John Sullivan.
Te hospital, located at 3500
Highway 17 North, houses a mother and baby unit that includes seven birthing rooms, two C-section rooms and 10 postpartum rooms. “Each (birthing) room is furnished with birthing beds, rocking chairs, a flat screen TV, sleep chairs and ma- ternal and infant monitoring equip- ment,” explained Happy Everett, clinical manager, labor and delivery. “Te postpartum rooms are designed to help you rest and bond with your new infant. Te nursery is equipped with 12 bassinets and advanced tech- nology to care for our most delicate babies, including neonatology sup- port 24/7 in the event babies require extra care.”
Te campus offers several classes for expectant families, including childbirth preparation, infant CPR, breastfeed- ing, babysitting preparation and baby care. In addition, there is a post-delivery breastfeeding support group and a full- time lactation consultant. The hospital offers a treat for
new moms who might need a little pampering after they give birth. Women choose from three gifts: a waffle knit robe with terry lining, a 30-minute massage with an aroma scalp treatment or a 30-minute massage with a paraffin hand or foot treatment. Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant
Hospital expects to deliver about 400 babies in 2012. Sullivan looks forward to the competition to de- liver the first baby of the year. “It’s fun and we welcome it,” Sulli-
van said. “Competition makes every- body better, and the patient wins.”
