Obstetrics/The Family Birthing Center

If you are pregnant or planning to have a baby, consider delivering you baby close to home at Kossuth Regional Health Center.

Baby on scale

BIRTHING SUITES - In May of 1995, as the result of a building and renovation project, KRHC created three Labor, Delivery, Recovery, and Postpartum (LDRP) birthing suites which serve as the Family Birthing Center. This facility allows families to enjoy this special time in the comfort and privacy of their own room, surrounded by the family and friends they choose. The newest addition to your family can remain in your room or in the security of our nursery.
