Welcoming a baby into the world is one of life’s greatest experiences.
We will work with you to learn your preferences and concerns regarding childbirth. Our goal
is a pregnancy journey that addresses your head and heart.
Providence St. Jude Medical Center offers a complimentary concierge service for expecting parents that can take care of tasks such as purchasing gifts for siblings, arranging a photographer, hiring a night nurse, setting up a diaper delivery service or arranging a celebratory mani-pedi for Mom. The concierge service at Providence St. Jude is a perfect complement to the exceptional clinical care provided by our physicians and caregivers.
Here are just a few things that we can help you with in order to free up your time to focus on what matters most. There is no fee for the concierge service—you only pay for the cost of goods and services requested.
