We're proud to say that more than 300 families chose North Adams Regional Hospital's Birthing Center for the most special event last year: the birth of their baby. We've been delivering babies for more than a hundred years!

The secrets to our success, of course, are the physicians and staff of the Birthing Center. Our obstetrics medical staff includes Charles O'Neill, M.D., and Susan Yates, M.D.  Certified nurse midwives include Robin Rivinus, CNM, and Carol Bryan, CNM.

Our maternity nursing staff is second to none. A mother who recently had a baby at NARH put it this way: "I am so impressed and thrilled at the wonderful nursing staff at NARH. I felt as though I was a princess and it was a great feeling. A+ staff!" All of our maternity nurses are certified in neonatal resuscitation.

The NARH Birthing Center offers three comfortable, home-like birthing (labor and delivery) rooms with surgical facilities just a step away.

Because the birth of your baby is so unique, we want it to happen just as you envision. We cater to birthing plans, and will work with parents to make sure the experience is the best it can be.

Newborn Hearing Testing

North Adams Regional Hospital was the first medical facility in Berkshire County to offer routine hearing screenings for newborns. It's a simple but important exam that helps to identify potential problems early. For the very small percentage of children with hearing problems present at birth, that means earlier intervention and better outcomes.

Follow-up Care

Every new mother is eligible to receive a free follow-up visit by a nurse from the Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice of Northern Berkshire. It's a great chance to ask questions and help ease the fears and anxieties of being a new parent. The trained parent/child health nurse can help if you become ill, or if you are young and inexperienced. We can also help you to understand choices for birth control, breastfeeding and bottle feeding, and general infant care. We want parents to enjoy the first days of parenthood!

Experts agree: breastfeeding is best for the new baby.
