at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital
Welcome

As you prepare for your new little one, your maternity care team stands ready to help you on your journey. If you have questions at any time, please don’t hesitate to contact your care coordinator. Your care coordinator is your one-stop source for birthing plan discussion, registration information, maternity tours, breastfeeding and childbirth class recommendations, and more.
As you think through what you want your experience to be, communicate it to your care coordinator. In no time, the day will be here, and we’ll be ready for you and your new baby.
Best wishes on your journey.
Birthing Unit Visitor Restrictions Are in Effect

The Birthing Center
Our new Birthing Center is located on the third floor of the new Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital. With expansive views of either Yaquina Bay or the Pacific Ocean, it provides a welcoming, safe and secure environment for you and your new family.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not able to offer in-person tours to show all the wonderful features, so please enjoy the video tour below.
Make yourself at home in your birthing suite and prepare for your baby’s arrival. If you are having a C-section, your surgical suite is just a few feet away, inside the Birthing Center.
After your labor, delivery and recovery, you and your baby will continue to receive care in your birthing suite where you can introduce guests to your new baby!
Your private birthing suite features a flat screen TV, DVD player and free Internet. A jetted tub is available to help with relaxation during early labor.
Childbirth Preparation and breastfeeding are just a few of the excellent classes and support groups held at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital for you and your family.
Every birth experience is unique. When you meet with your hospital maternity care coordinator, you can share with them the kind of birthing experience you desire. Who will be there with you? Do you want a natural birth, or medication to help with your comfort? Do you want to walk around or sit in the jetted tub during labor? Will you be breastfeeding?
This is your time! Since babies often have a mind of their own, not everything will go as planned. The preparation you do beforehand, though, will enable you to focus on what is most important - your experience and the birth of your baby!
