Expanding our birthing services in
Torrance to best serve our community
We are excited to share that since 2020 Providence Little Company
of Mary Torrance has delivered more babies in the South Bay than any
other hospital. It is clear that families are choosing Providence as their
first choice in healthcare, which is crucial as we nurture and develop a
lifelong healthcare partnership with the community. Below is an update
on our Women and Children's department:
Providence Little Company of Mary now offers a
Doula Support Program for patients
Providence Little Company of Mary is excited to share that we are the
exclusive medical center in the South Bay to offer a Doula Support
Program to our patients. Doulas are an extension of a patients care
team. They provide physical, emotional, and informational support
throughout the birthing process. They do not take the place of their
care provider, nurses, or partner, they are a professional extension in
helping families prepare for the birth they envision and providing hands
on support so that they can achieve their birth goals. When patients
want the support of a Birth or Postpartum Doula, they complete the
intake form on our website and begin the process of finding the care
that they want. Nurses and Doulas make an incredible team of support
for our patients.
Midwives as a Care Provider for our patients
Mothers now have another option for delivery – Midwives. Many
mothers who are low risk and often want a more natural birth will
choose a Midwife attended birth. A certified nurse midwife has the
compassionate understanding of the nurse's role, knows when to reach
out to the OB/GYN physicians, when birth dictates. Nurse midwives will
help us to ensure our patients feel empowered throughout their care
with us, they become lifelong heath partners and return for subsequent
births and care for the entire family.
