As first-time parents choosing a hospital to deliver their son, Marshall and Garrett Schreeder wanted the peace of mind that only the largest birthing and pediatric center in the region can provide.
“I had the first-pregnancy jitters and wanted a hospital that had the staffing and equipment to take care of us in case of emergency,” said Garrett Schreeder. “I knew Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children had a neonatal intensive care unit, and it put me at ease to know a specialized unit was there if something went wrong.”
Fortunately the new parents didn’t experience any difficulties with the delivery of Marshall Schreeder III, now 3-months-old, but knowing they were in a place that’s committed to providing the safest and most comfortable environment for families helped calm their anxieties. They were cared for by an experienced and compassionate staff and enjoyed a spacious labor and delivery room with the look and feel of home.
“I was so impressed with the nurses, and the rooms were bright and comfortable,” said Garrett Schreeder. “We knew we were in a hospital but felt like we were in a personalized room. Plus, there was enough room for family.”
While the nurses and physicians at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children deliver more than 400 babies a month, they realize that welcoming a new baby is unique for every family. At Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children, new parents get the best of both worlds – the highest level of quality care with a “treat-you-like-family” personal touch.
