MATERNITY
SERVICES
Childbirth
is one of the most exciting and important events in your life. At
Cambridge Health Alliance, we make sure women and their families
have the support and expertise of our physicians, physician assistants,
midwives, nurses, and nurse practitioners to make childbirth safe,
special and memorable.
Families who
use Cambridge Health Alliance have the luxury of two options. Some
choose to deliver at our state-of-the-art expanded maternity suite;
others prefer a more homelike experience, at our stand-alone Birth
Center. Whichever option you choose, your health and the health
of your baby is in good hands.

Specialty
Services for expecting women:

our Harvard Medical School affiliated Pediatrics Department work
very closely with the teams at the Maternity Suite and the Birth
Center to care for newborns after childbirth. Click

Maternal
Fetal Medicine
Maternal-Fetal
Medicine services, from our affiliated Tufts-New England Medical
Center, are available for women experiencing high-risk pregnancies.
These specialists look at the health of the mother and the unborn
child simultaneously to reduce risk factors. Also, on site genetic
counseling and prenatal diagnostics are available.
Doulas
Doulas are women
trained to help, support, encourage and accompany women during pregnancy,
labor, and birth and postpartum, much like a mother or sister would.
A woman and her baby can feel secure knowing that our doulas can
help to make their birth experience a positive one. We have 17 doulas
who speak 10 languages combined. These caring women help make a
difference in the lives of mothers and their babies during a very
joyous yet challenging time. To learn more about Doulas, click
