Certified lactation nurses will return calls and even schedule appointments, if necessary. At Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital, the number to call is (541) 451-7588. At Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis, the number is (541) 768-5244.
- Mothers’ message board: New moms have lots of questions, and they can get lots of answers with this on-line service. Mothers’ message board gives new moms a chance to talk with other moms about the joys and concerns of parenting. Users can chat about newborn care, find out about activities for babies and moms, make play dates, and trade stories and tips.
- Birth link: To help military families be together for the miracle of birth, the Women’s Center at Samaritan Albany General Hospital has a state-of-the-art camera, which is able to broadcast a secure video feed from any of the center’s birth suites. This technology allows a military father serving overseas to watch the birth of his child live from a designated computer. The feed is interactive, allowing new moms and dads to communicate during and after the birth process. At least one month’s notice is needed for planning. For more information, call (541) 812-4304.
