Porter Medical Center
Our Center
A medical provider pushes on the lower back of a patient in labor.

At the Porter Birthing Center, you'll find private birthing rooms equipped with state-of-the-art technology and one-on-one nursing care during labor and delivery.

Comfortable Spaces for You and Your Birth Partner

The Porter Birthing Center features modern facilities designed to help you have a safe, comfortable birth experience.

Birthing Rooms

We’ve designed our birthing rooms to be home-like and comfortable. We follow the Labor, Delivery, Recovery and Postpartum (LDRP) model of care, meaning you will stay in the same room in which you give birth for the duration of your time with us.

Our birthing rooms accommodate 24-hour rooming-in for your new baby and sleeping arrangements for one support person.

Our rooms offer many labor supports, such as hydrotherapy, birthing balls, stools and squatting bars.

Operating Rooms

Though our primary focus is on low-intervention births, operating rooms are available for cesarean births and complicated deliveries when necessary. Our providers are experienced in surgical interventions.

Dining Options

Our cafeteria is open during mealtimes Monday through Friday, and for lunch on Saturday and Sunday.

Patients and their support person can order room service from 6 am–6 pm.

Each birthing room has a mini fridge where patients can keep personal food items. The birthing center also has a kitchenette with many snack options and a Keurig.
