Birth Services

Our beautiful birthing suites provide a comfortable setting for mother and baby throughout their stay. Your labor and delivery in Alice takes place all in one room, our private labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum (LDRP) suites. So mother and baby can bond right from the start, your baby will room in during your entire hospital stay.

Our community hospitals in Alice, Beeville and Kleberg offer a Level 1 Nursery facility, which provides basic neonatal care. For babies born in our Rural Hospitals who require specialized care, we will also have a specialized neonate transport team to transport fragile babies from any CHRISTUS Spohn hospital back to the state-of-the-art level of neonatal care provided at CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi - South. Our Transport Team is committed to providing expedient and skilled response to these hospitals and the referring physicians.

The transport team is comprised of a skilled team of registered neonatal nurses and respiratory therapists trained in transport medicine and neonatal advanced life support. Our team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week,to bring babies to Spohn South NICU.

Great Nutritional Start 

At CHRISTUS Health we support your choice to breastfeed. Breastfeeding gets newborns off to a great nutritional start. The act of breastfeeding creates a unique bonding time for you and your baby. We offer a variety of tools to help you and your little become successful at breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding classes 

Are you wondering if breastfeeding is right for you? Breastfeeding is a learned art. The more you know about breastfeeding before birth, the easier it will be to get off to a good start after your baby arrives. During our breastfeeding classes we will show you various tips, tricks and techniques and will cover a variety of topics including the health benefits of breastfeeding to both baby and mother, positioning and latch, how to know if your baby is getting enough, dad’s role in a breastfeeding family and much more.

Lactation specialists

Our birth center is staffed with lactation specialists. Prior to going home with your new baby, our specialists will come to your room and work with you one-on-one to support you at the start of your breastfeeding journey.
