Why Choose Stamford Health

When you’re ready to have a baby, Stamford Health provides you with a meaningful, safe, and compassionate experience.

We’re proud to offer comprehensive care throughout your entire pregnancy journey. When necessary, our physicians will collaborate with maternal-fetal medicine specialists, geneticists, and other specialists to provide the most informed care. During labor, our team will enthusiastically work alongside your care partner whether that is a doula, significant other, friend, or family member.

Stamford Hospital is staffed 24/7 by in-house OB-GYNs (also called hospitalists), who are available to all patients during the birthing process. If for some reason, your OB-GYN is not able to provide care, our expert physicians are here for you.
