A Holistic Approach to Care
At Stormont Vail Health, we take a holistic approach to providing care. We understand that health care goes beyond treating physical and mental ailments. Each of our patients has a story to tell.
Why do we ask patients about their demographics, like race and ethnicity? Because we care!

The Importance of Vaccination
Dads, grandparents, partners, and family who will spend time with the baby will also have the opportunity to get their Tdap vaccine. This booster ensures the well-being of infants and everyone around them by preventing whooping cough and other infectious diseases.

Understanding Postpartum "Baby Blues"
Overview: The birth of a baby can trigger a jumble of powerful emotions, from excitement and joy to fear and anxiety. But it can also result in something you might not expect - depression. Most new moms experience postpartum “baby blues” after childbirth, which commonly include mood swings, crying spells, anxiety and difficulty sleeping.
Placental Abruption: An Overview
The placenta is an organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy. Placental abruption occurs when the placenta separates from the inner wall of the uterus before birth. Placental abruption can deprive the baby of oxygen and nutrients and cause heavy bleeding in the mother. In some cases, early delivery is needed.
