BEFORE BABY
Maternity Orientation
Join us for a virtual PowerPoint-guided orientation, informing you of what to expect before, during, and after your stay at Enloe's Mother & Baby Care Center! This is a great opportunity for you to get pre-admitted, discover our philosophy of care, and enjoy delicious refreshments in a comfortable relaxing environment. The purpose of not touring through the Mother & Baby Care Center department for prenatal orientation is to protect our inpatients confidentiality and privacy, as well as ensuring infant security.
