Introducing TeamBirth

During birth, you are supported by your team of providers, nurses, and support people. You are at the center of this team – it is your body and your birth. At Providence TeamBirth hospitals, the care you receive matches your preferences. One of the ways we accomplish this is through TeamBirth huddles. TeamBirth huddles are times when your care team comes together, either in person or over the phone, to give all team members the opportunity to talk at key points in your care. Huddles happen at admission, for decisions or changes in the plan of care, or when any team member asks for one. You and your care team talk about your preferences, your care plans, and when you will huddle next. We encourage you and your support people to ask any of our caregivers for a huddle. If you do not feel like you can speak up for any reason, ask your support person or the team member you trust the most to help speak up for you.
