The Birth Place

Effective April 15, 2020
To keep you and your growing family safe, at this time your newborn will stay in your hospital room during your stay with us. We have also temporarily discontinued the option for water birth and the use of Nitrous Oxide for pain relief.

You are encouraged to have one pre-determined support person who will stay with you in your room and provide you and your baby support when you need rest.

When you’re ready for baby, you dream about this moment and the journey it takes to get here. You do your homework. You want the transition to parenthood to be as smooth as possible.

When you’re ready for baby, you want to take care of yourself and the life that’s developing inside of you. You want a say in how you birth your baby – choices in relaxation methods and medication options. You want the comforts of home along with state of the art technology and safety. When you’re ready for baby, The Birth Place at Sanford Women’s is ready for you. Interested in a tour of the Birth Place? Please call (605) 328-7140 to schedule a tour.

Committed to Patient Safety

SCOPE is a voluntary, comprehensive patient safety review program for medical offices that provide obstetric and gynecologic services. The program helps providers assess the implementation and use of patient safety concepts and techniques in their offices. SCOPE may identify office processes that require improvement, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists will provide assistance and education to make changes and enhance patient safety. It also recognizes offices with strong patient safety practices. SCOPE benefits fellows and their patients.
