The Women’s Hospital at Saddleback Memorial Prepares to Commemorate Its 25th Anniversary

Community Invited to Celebrate at Family Event May 19.

Laguna Hills, CA, May 08, 2013 --(PR.com)-- This month, The Women’s Hospital at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center celebrates its 25th Anniversary. To honor the more than 60,000 babies born at The Women’s Hospital, the community is invited to celebrate at a family event on Sunday, May 19 from 12:30 PM – 4:30 PM at Saddleback Memorial in Laguna Hills.

The Women’s Hospital opened with some of the nation’s first private labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum (LDRP) rooms. Previously, mothers were moved from room to room during different stages of labor and delivery. As a result of this new approach, new mothers could experience each stage of childbirth in the comfort of their same state-of-the art, home-like suite under the care of highly trained obstetricians and staff.

Along with exceptional comfort, The Women’s Hospital at Saddleback Memorial provides exceptional care. With its on-site level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and 24 hours a day / seven days a week on-site anesthesiologists, labor and delivery specialists, and neonatologists, the hospital provides a level of service that is unparalleled in Orange County.

“The Women’s Hospital was designed with the vision of being ‘the perfect place to have a baby,'” says Steve Geidt, chief executive officer for Saddleback Memorial. “For 25 years, our focus has been on the needs and comforts of our new parents and their babies. We’re so excited to celebrate that legacy with our community and look forward to future years of distinguished care.”

The Women’s Hospital 25th Anniversary celebration festivities will include face painting; balloon artists; cupcakes and refreshments; a photo opportunity to reunite children with the physician who delivered them; and a special exhibit to explore the history of The Women’s Hospital. For more information about the event, please visit memorialcare.org/sbwomens25.

Families who have had babies at The Women’s Hospital are invited to share their unique stories and photos at mysaddlebackbaby.com. Participants receive a free commemorative 25th Anniversary t-shirt and a chance to win a $500 gift card.
