Midwifery

We offer comprehensive gynecologic services for women throughout their reproductive lives, from adolescents scheduling their first routine exam to women facing signs of menopause. Through our referral service, we can help you find the right gynecologist to meet your needs. Inspira’s team of certified nurse midwives at Gentle Beginnings also offers a full spectrum of women’s health services beyond maternity care to their patients.

Inspira Medical Center Elmer is the first hospital in New Jersey and the Delaware Valley to earn the prestigious international Baby-Friendly® designation. It’s also the only maternity center in the region to offer water birth in a hospital setting. Inspira Medical Center Elmer’s maternity services has received  multiple consecutive national Women’s Choice Awards, as well as the highest scores possible for maternity quality standards measured by Leap Frog. Inspira Medical Center Elmer consistently receives high patient experience feedback as measured by the Press Ganey survey.

Inspira Medical Center Vineland is home to the region’s only Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), the Deborah F. Sager Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Here, babies of all gestational ages and conditions can be cared for close to home. Through a partnership with Nemours Children’s Health, experienced neonatologists and pediatricians are onsite 24/7.

Maternity Services at Inspira Medical Centers Elmer and Vineland have also earned the Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Distinction. Blue Distinction Centers for Maternity Care demonstrate expertise and a commitment to quality care for vaginal and cesarean section deliveries. These Centers demonstrate better overall patient satisfaction and a lower percentage of early elective deliveries.

At Inspira, we believe childbirth should be celebrated in a home-like environment designed to foster a sense of peace and safety. Inspira offers private rooms in which families can stay from admission to discharge. They’re designed to feel more like home than a hospital, but still have all the safety and security access features for moms and babies. The family waiting area offers convenience and comfort for our patients and their families.
