Floyd Valley Healthcare cut the ribbon on their just-completed Maternal Health Renovation project today. Director of Nursing Kristen Ball says the rooms are designed to provide care through the entire labor and delivery process in an at-home atmosphere.
There’s also an observation room to monitor mothers close to giving birth.
Floyd Valley Healthcare CEO Dustin Wright says while rural Iowa is losing obstetrics care, this project shows Floyd Valley is stepping up their maternal care.
Bell says the at-home environment was intentional in the planning for this project
One of the hallmarks of Floyd Valley Healthcare’s maternal care is it’s one to one pairing of nurses and patients.
The 6 million dollar project is the latest in a series of upgrades at Floyd Valley Healthcare. The next project is consolidating laboratory services.
