At Meritus Medical Center, our 32-bed Labor, Delivery, Recovery, and Postpartum (LDRP) Unit provides comprehensive, family-centered care for patients throughout every stage of childbirth—from antepartum through postpartum recovery.
Our LDRP model allows mothers to labor, deliver, recover, and room-in with their newborns all in one private space—creating a comfortable and seamless experience for families. Newborns remain in the room with their mothers unless a higher level of care is required.
