At Goshen Hospital the mother and baby are treated as one “a couplet.” The birthing suite is an island of privacy where the focus is on the coliplet, and the parents are the guests of the hospital. Everyone enjoys a more intimate interlude in an environment that enhances the opportunity for greater family participation.

The key distinction of the Circle of Caring Birthplace is providing state-of-the-art care for mother and child which offers a meaningful | option to traditional childbirth experiences. Linda Vicary or Donna Rohrer will happily answer your questions when you telephone 219-535-2621.
