The question is always in the back of your mind—what if something goes wrong? Community has you covered. Thousands of babies have started life in the safe, caring environment of a Community Health Network hospital.

Community Hospital North offers state-of-the-art maternity suites, pediatric unit and NICU.
Designed to be exceptionally sensitive to the needs of infants who need extra care, the private suites for babies in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are technologically advanced and comfortable, with ample space for families.
You and your baby have easy, automatic access to these services from any Community Health Network hospital with a physician order or referral.
You can count on us to compassionately respond to the individual needs of your baby and family.

The quilt gifts are one way to demonstrate our philosophy that no two infants or families are alike.
Many families have told us that they have framed these quilts as a reminder of how tiny their infant(s) once were and the special care they received during their stay.
