Jan. 30, 2025: NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester's Labor and Delivery unit in Bronxville provides enhanced care and comfort for mothers and their newborns and provides an exceptional patient experience.

Located on the fourth floor of NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester in Bronxville, the labor and delivery unit features six private, spacious birthing suites, promoting comfort, privacy, and family bonding. 

The unit complements the hospital’s already outstanding maternity center which includes 23 modern postpartum rooms. All birthing suites and postpartum rooms are private, and each has a bathroom, shower, a comfortable bed for a partner, and amenities to enhance the patient experience

The labor and delivery unit is outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment, including artificial intelligence technology that analyzes fetal heart rate and other data related to the mother and baby’s condition. Wireless fetal monitoring, with sensors attached to the abdomen, enables patients to move around during labor. 

The unit has tubs to promote comfort during labor, and nurses are trained to support labor and birth with breathing and relaxation techniques. The unit also features two state-of-the-art operating rooms, a private triage suite, and newborn safety systems, and offers breastfeeding support, post-discharge lactation support groups and parent support groups.

“NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester’s new labor and delivery unit reflects our commitment to providing exceptional care to mothers, their newborns, and the entire family close to home in Westchester,” said Paul J. Dunphey, senior vice president and chief operating officer of NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester.
