 Why We Are Unique
Lafayette
General has the total package—specialized medical experience in a
beautiful, home-like setting. Now, The Pavilion for women &
children is the first to offer the most progressive maternity care in
Acadiana.
Family-centered care
We recognize that the family, however you define it, is mom’s main source of
strength and support. With that in mind, all baby care, including
baths, physicals and pediatrician checks, is completed in your hospital
room. Your doctors, nurses and equipment come to you, at your
convenience and not on the hospital’s rigid schedule. Moms, and
families, get one-on-one instruction and personal assistance with
taking care of baby—from feeding to diapering to c are of the umbilical
cord. This type of care promotes family bonding and attachment.
Mother-baby nursing
Instead of having two nurses—one for you and one for your infant—mothers and
babies will be cared for as a ‘couplet’ by one mother-baby nurse.
Families spend more time together because your baby won’t have to leave
the room for nursing care, physician exams, or shift changes. Your
mother-baby nurse is expertly cross-trained to understand both parent
and newborn needs. Though you have more ‘quality time’ care with your
nurse, you’ll also have fewer interruptions. |
