Meet Kris Kok, Rice Hospital RN, and her daughter Lauren Grace, who was born September 10, 2008, at Rice Memorial Hospital. "One thing that I really liked about having our baby in a birthing suite is that I got to stay in the same room the whole time," says Kris. "The room was large and the whirlpool was great. Our out-of-town friends and family were very impressed with the room and the unit as a whole."

All of the comforts of home

As a new parent in Suite Beginnings, you will find many of those "little extras" which make your stay with us so special. For instance, new parents receive a complementary basket filled with fruit and goodies. You'll find one nurse taking care of both you and your baby; and you can see your baby as often as you wish.

But the greatest comfort we can provide is the expert care from our highly qualified staff. No matter what you and your baby may need, Rice is ready. Our intensive care nursery and highly trained staff provide the best in obstetrical care available. We work with four obstetricians, five pediatricians and a variety of family practice doctors.

Providing mom and family a loving homelike atmosphere in a high tech environment is what we offer at Suite Beginnings. We, the staff at Rice, believe the birth of your baby should be a joyous and memorable experience!
