My wife and I had a baby here on 6.17.19, we are very strange to deal with for hospital staff, we don't do vaccines, new born screening or hug bands(baby tether), and my wife is uncomfertable in hospitals so she likes to be home well before medical staff likes to let you go, now I called ahead and talked with them about what lengths they would go to to enforce their policies on us, some hospitals perform unlawful detentions, coercive behaviors and even call CPS illegally. This hospital was completely respectful of our rights, they treated us like royalty, they gave us a post delivery room with a breath taking view, my wife's desires were taking with utmost concern and no one tried to convince, sway or force her to do anything at all it was totally different than all other experiences we've had during child birth. We had two women who seemed to he very high up the chain of command come visit us themselves to make sure their staff were conducting themselves in a professional manner. The facilities are beautiful, the staff was very professional even as far as nurses with their stacks of responsibilities offering to grab me coffee, I was blown away. They didnt give us any problems about having a v-back birth after my wifes emergency c-section 11 years ago. Now we did have a small hiccup with the personalities in pediatrics we dealt with they didnt want to let us go, but because we didnt have the baby tether and the whole rest of the staff understood that we retained freedom of movement we basicly told them we are leaving, give us AMA forms to sign for you by the time we get down to the lobby or don't your choice and just like that we got the form and left easy peasy lemon squeezy, less than 24 hours. Good job guys, and anyone looking for a hospital, this place is fantastic, with 24 hour cafeteria, free interwebz, and staff who got their job because they want to help people.
