Having a baby is one of life's greatest experiences. At Sutter Coast Hospital, our friendly staff provides personal care in our "home-like" rooms where labor, delivery and recovery all take place in the same room. Every room is equipped with up-to-date equipment and well trained staff to provide safe, individualized care. We offer a program for all mothers to "Pre-Admit" before labor to ease the admission process. We encourage attendance of childbirth classes which include breathing and relaxation exercises. We also offer a hot tub for relaxation during labor and medications which can include the use of an epidural.
Breast-feeding is recommended at our hospital. To assist mothers in successful breast feeding, we have registered nurses trained in lactation consultation available to assist in person and by telephone.

Teleradiology
Sutter Coast Hospital is now online with a new service designed to help ease the workload on radiologists late at night. It's called Teleradiology and involves transmitting diagnostic imaging scans to a radiologist at another facility.
Teleradiology provides our radiologist with help during the night and giving our emergency room doctors and other physicians fast and efficient service.
The hospital transmits CAT scans, ultrasound images and MRI results via computer to another facility. A preliminary report is then sent to the emergency room and a copy is also sent to radiology at Sutter Coast.
The results come back from the teleradiologist very quickly. Often, by the time a patient is returned to the ER, we have received a written report of the findings. In the case of abnormal results, the ER physician is telephoned immediately by the remote radiologist and the tests are discussed.
Teleradiology service is used from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. seven days a week, including holidays.
