What to expect
Having a baby is an unforgettable experience. Learn what to expect from when you learn you're pregnant to how fathers and partners can be involved.
Baby-Friendly
Good Samaritan Medical Center was the first hospital in Colorado to be named Baby-Friendly. Baby-Friendly is a designation given by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF to hospitals that support moms to be successful in whatever their feeding choice may be. Our staff teaches and helps moms whether their goal is to breastfeed or formula feed their babies.
Another benefit of being a Baby-Friendly hospital is having your baby in the room with you, except for medical reasons. Research shows that moms and babies sleep better when they stay together.

High-risk care
It’s only natural to worry when you’re suddenly in charge of the health of another human being, but most pregnancies go off without a hitch.
If something does happen in those nine months that puts you or your baby at a higher risk for complications, you’ll have access to high-risk pregnancy specialists, additional fetal testing and a neonatal intensive care unit NICU).
What makes a pregnancy high-risk?
NICU
Adults have adult intensive care units (ICUs), children have pediatric ICUs and premature or babies with health issues have neonatal ICUs. If your little one needs extra medical attention after birth, he or she will be taken to the NICU to be cared for by neonatologists, nurse practitioners and nurses trained in caring for newborns with special needs.

Call the Baby's First Ride reservation line at 303-908-8326 to make an inspection appointment before you deliver or early in your stay after birth.
