Tamarack Health In Hayward Offers Enhanced Pregnancy And Birth Care Services With A Focus On Continuity Of Care

Hayward, WI – Tamarack Health Hayward Medical Center offers comprehensive pregnancy and birth care services at its Family Birthplace in Hayward, Wisconsin. Known for its personalized and accessible approach to healthcare, Tamarack Health emphasizes a continuity of care model, ensuring that expecting parents receive personalized and consistent care from the same doctor throughout the prenatal period to delivery and beyond.

The Family Birthplace at Tamarack Health is equipped with large private birthing suites and offers a range of birthing options to meet the diverse needs and preferences of every family. Each birthing experience is tailored to honor the birth plan of the parents, incorporating practices like immediate skin-to-skin contact, delayed cord-clamping, and the involvement of the birth partner.

Dr. Karlye Rodriguez-Wisdom, a part of the Family Medicine + OB care team, shared her enthusiasm for the work they do at Tamarack Health, "The care model here is unique and really very special. As a physician, I spend many hours with mom throughout the pregnancy with prenatal visits and regular checks."

Adding to the sentiment, Dr. Katrina Gardner remarked on the profound joy of working with newborns and their families. "When it comes time to deliver, the mother’s same doctor will be called–the one they’re already very familiar with and know. It's such an honor to be part of that journey and be at the bedside when that life event is happening. I don't think there's anything better."

For families preparing for the arrival of their new member, Tamarack Health offers the "Journey Through Parenthood" program, consisting of tours, prenatal classes, and breastfeeding support designed to educate and familiarize families with the childbirth process. Additional resources include prenatal yoga and a comprehensive support system to ensure parents are well-prepared. The primary care doctor then transitions as the newborn's primary doctor.

Expecting parents and the local community are invited to reach out to Tamarack Health for more information on these services and to schedule a visit. The dedicated team at Tamarack Health is here to support families every step of the way, making the miracle of birth as comfortable and joyous as possible.
