How Mary Washington makes the birth of your child peaceful, inviting for your family

The birth of your child will be one of your most memorable days.
 
The Women’s and Children’s Center at Mary Washington and Stafford hospitals is here to make it so.
 
“Our goal is that experience so that you’ll feel like you’re the only patient here,” said Ann Weed, labor and delivery nurse manager at Mary Washington Hospital.
 
Your room is newly designed to be hotel like, inviting, and peaceful with plenty of space for your family to stay for the duration and this visit.
 
With pampering from our carrying, highly experienced physicians, nurses, and support staff.
 
“It helps to have somebody that’s been through it before as a care provider, that can lead and guide you through it
and help you and support you in the way that you need to be supported,” said Weed. 
 
“We’re there to make this the best possible experience for you and your family,” added Weed.
