Safe & Modern Facility

Additionally, the department instituted heightened security measures, including an advanced alarm system, locked labor and delivery unit and special care nursery, and specially developed ID bracelet system, to ensure the utmost safety for all families.
Security
Providing a safe and secure environment for babies and their families is of the highest importance to the New Generations Family Birthing Center. All main doors to the floor have alarms, and an electronic security system is in place to keep your baby safe. Corresponding ID bracelets for infants and their parents are assigned soon after birth, and infants are not released to anyone who does not have a corresponding ID band. Additionally, staff are trained in security measures to ensure your baby's safety at all times.
