About The Family Place

The Family Place is WellSpan Evangelical Community Hospital’s maternity care unit designed to meet the unique needs of mothers and their babies. The unit features a specialized nursing concept known as family-centered maternity care.

Having a baby is a special time for you and your family. We want to provide you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you and your little one are in expert hands.

A Full Range of Obstetric Care

Nurses in The Family Place are experienced in all areas of obstetric care – from labor and delivery to postpartum care. That means the same dedicated, caring nurses who take care of mom take care of baby, too. 

Privacy, Comfort, and Security

At The Family Place, we offer comfortable, beautifully designed birthing suites, each featuring a private bath with whirlpool tub and shower. We’re committed to providing you and your baby with the best possible care, and we offer that care in a pleasant, soothing environment.

The Family Place has the Hugs Infant Protection system in place. This comprehensive security system will keep your baby safe and secure on the unit.

Prepared for Routine and Complex Deliveries

In addition to handling vaginal deliveries, our expert team is equipped to handle scheduled and emergency C-Section births, as well as vaginal births after cesarean section (VBAC). Whatever your medical needs, our competent, caring staff is here for you and your growing family.
