Neonatal Virtual Care Services

Your newborn is never far away from highly specialized care. We offer state-of-the-art neonatal virtual care at Hutchinson Health BirthCare Center through a partnership with newborn care specialists at Children’s Minnesota Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Neonatal virtual care brings specialty care to our patients when and where it is needed most. If your baby is born early or experiences unexpected medical complications after delivery, your baby’s care team may choose to consult with Children’s newborn care specialists. Using a specialized telemedicine cart with secure audio/visual technology, a Children’s newborn specialist will be virtually present at your baby’s bedside. Clinicians from Hutchinson Health and Children’s Minnesota will work together to quickly treat your baby. All final care decisions will be made by your baby’s physician.

Seamless chart system

Rest assured that your care team will always have your most up-to-date information through our seamless chart system. Your chart follows you through each phase of your pregnancy – from that first preconception meeting with your doctor to prenatal care, labor and delivery, and after-care. Your medical information goes with you, keeping your doctors in the loop and heightening your level of personalized care.

Breastfeeding support

Breastfeeding may be natural, but it doesn’t always come naturally. At the Hutchinson Health BirthCare Center, we’re here to help mothers and babies get off to a good start with breastfeeding.

During your pregnancy, we offer prenatal breastfeeding classes. And once baby arrives, you can expect quality support from our lactation-certified nurses during your stay at the BirthCare Center.

We also offer lactation consultation services to mothers who have returned home with their newborns. While the breastfeeding journey isn’t always easy, you’ll have our continued support by phone or appointment.

Need lactation support? Our board-certified lactation consultants are available 24/7. Call 320-484-4620.

We offer two different online prenatal classes to help prepare new parents for life with their little one. In our Prepared Childbirth Class, you’ll learn about everything from the physical and emotional changes during pregnancy to childbirth and caring for your baby when you return home.

During our breastfeeding class, you’ll learn the benefits of breastfeeding for mom and baby, positioning techniques, partner involvement and information about choosing and using a breast pump.
