Eastern Jackson County’s Premier Maternity Center

More than 20,000 babies delivered and counting

The maternity center at Saint Luke’s East Hospital was designed with you in mind—providing family-centered care for our littlest patients and their moms. Our services range from low intervention, natural childbirth with our certified nurse midwife, to high-tech care for high-risk pregnancies. Saint Luke’s East maternity care has again been named in the Top 10% of hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report—we’ve received this recognition since its inception two years ago.

Take a virtual tour to view the check-in area and our spacious birthing suites, and learn more about our Level II NICU.
