Our Family Birth Place
Memorial’s Family Birth Place overlooks the peaceful Shiawassee River. It combines the warmth of a home-like atmosphere with technological equipment to contribute to a comfortable, safe birthing experience. All rooms are spacious and private. Support people are encouraged to participate in care. Infant rooming-in is highly encouraged to meet our goal in providing education of how to care for your new family member. However, a nursery is available to offer rest and recovery.
National Recognition
The U.S. News & World Report 2023-2024 ranks Memorial Healthcare among the top six percent of hospitals as high-performing maternal care in uncomplicated pregnancies. This national recognition is due to Memorial’s low preterm delivery, low c-section, high vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) and few newborn complication rates. At Memorial’s Family Birth Place, care and compassion are the hallmarks of the highly skilled obstetric team! With nearly 500 babies born each year, the Family Birth Place provides maternal care for Shiawassee County and surrounding areas. Our mid-Michigan location is nationally recognized as a Maternity Care Access hospital in helping to prevent maternal care desserts.

Recent Patient Comments
“ I was on the Family Birth Place unit to have my first child. As a first-time mom, I was scared of the unknowns and didn’t know what to expect. I had labored for 26 hours, was tired, was hungry, and just wanted to be able to hold my baby boy. My night shift nurse, Katie, was extraordinary. She was constantly checking on me, asking how I was doing, repositioning me, validating my feelings, and holding my hand through the process. She made my first delivery memorable. When I came back for my second delivery, I asked for Katie by name. When in my second delivery, I had her care for my postpartum recovery, it was that much more memorable. She kept in sight our entire family as she kept an eye on my husband when he wasn’t feeling well after delivery.”
Congratulations, Katie Topping, RN
The patient comment above was submitted as a DAISY Award nomination in the third quarter of 2024. We are pleased to announce Katie Topping, Labor and Delivery Registered Nurse, was the recipient of this award.
Katie was presented with a certificate of recognition, a DAISY pin, cinnamon rolls, and an incredible serpentine stone sculpture carved by the artists of the Shona Tribe located in Zimbabwe, Africa. This sculpture is known as the “Healer’s Touch,” and it portrays the embracing relationship nurses have with their patients.
The DAISY Award is an international program that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary, compassionate, and skillful care given by nurses every day. Nurses are nominated by their patients and patient’s families. DAISY Award nominations are accepted all year long and can be made at www.MemorialHealthcare.org or in person at the hospital’s main campus.
