Dr. Szmuc:
Here at Banner Desert we have a full complement of perinatologists and neonatologists here in the hospital every day. We have a tremendous NICU with doctor-staff day and night.
We have a large antepartum unit that patients can stay for days to weeks if need be, to enhance the pregnancy outcomes. We have a highly trained team of nurses and anesthesiologists.
Our anesthesiologists are here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to address any emergent need as it becomes apparent. We have a great facility with adequate rooms, adequate operating rooms in labor and delivery where there’s never an issue of overcrowding.
It is important that we have state certification that we are able to care for any patient and any problem that comes into the unit. We have all the existing facilities. We have all the subspecialists here that can take care of these patients at a moment’s notice.
