East Meadow, NY………The staff of the NUMC OB/GYN department celebrates the opening of their new labor and delivery suites, the second phase of four phases planned for the renovations of maternity and new born nursery on the third floor, all designed to better serve expectant mothers and their families, in a calming and relaxed environment. The first phase, completed last year, included the entire 7000 square foot lobby of the third floor, with a large waiting room. The completed labor and delivery suites, about 18,000 square feet, were constructed with a budget under $2M, for low to medium risk births with seven rooms, three triage spaces with six exam rooms with private bathrooms, two waiting rooms and a large nursing station. The third phase, expected to be completed in three months, includes a birthing suite, with two large birthing rooms each with a water tub for underwater deliveries for low risk mothers, a waiting room and a reception center.
