The Women’s Center - Designed with details in mind
That’s why women will find things like iPod docking stations in patient rooms, allowing them to listen to their favorite music during labor and delivery.
Park City Medical Center also has plush robes for women having a mammogram, and an architectural design that assures absolute privacy.
“We’ve tried to think of everything that could make a woman’s stay as warm and comfortable as possible,” says Ann Lystrup, nurse manager for inpatient services.
Here are more highlights:
Labor and Delivery/ Postpartum Suites
Often, women move from one area of a hospital to another after delivering a baby. At the Park City Medical Center Women’s Center, women will have only one room throughout their entire stay.
The unique suites allow parents to settle in and get comfortable as they get to know the newest addition to the family. The rooms feature pretty colors and textures, as well as outstanding views of the Wasatch Mountains. The comfortable furnishings include roomy sleeper chairs that can accommodate even the tallest partners.
Park City Medical Center also has labor aids like birthing balls and birthing bars. Mothers can have babies sleep in their room, or spend the night in the nursery, where newborns will receive special treatment as well.
The nursery has been designed for up to seven infants and provides attentive, personal care for each one.
Privacy and Security
Women who are having surgery can choose to stay in a women-only section of the hospital.
“Many women prefer to know that they’re recovering in a private area and that their caregivers are women,” says Lystrup. “The hospital is designed to accommodate those requests.”
Park City Medical Center is also committed to the highest level of security for women and newborns.
Complete Mammography Services
Whether she’s getting a routine exam or doctor- ordered tests, each patient will have access to state-of-the-art mammography services from staff members who are trained to minimize discomfort.
Quality Meals
Park City Medical Center’s executive chef and a registered dietitian will work together to ensure that each woman gets meals that are customized to her nutritional needs, whether she’s recovering from surgery or nursing a newborn.
All patients will be able to choose from a restaurant-style menu. Park City Medical Center will work to include fresh, locally grown produce in its dishes.
Holistic Approach to Health
The Park City Medical Center is planning to offer educational classes for women in all stages of life — from natural childbirth and breastfeeding, to cancer prevention, weight loss and general wellness.
