The BirthplaceThe recently expanded and remodeled Birthplace at Fairview Lakes Medical Center welcomes 900 babies each year. We accommodate families in a quiet, friendly and secure environment. Expectant mothers give birth in private labor and delivery rooms and recover in rooms with space for them and their loved ones to get acquainted with the newest member of the family. Our medical staff has advanced training in delivering multiples and a certified lactation counselor is available while mothers are in the hospital and after they go home. If a baby needs more complex care, we partner with the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital, where fragile newsborns have access to the most advanced care possible.

Care of children

Fairview Lakes Medical Center is child-friendly. Play areas are plentiful and conveniently located. Children’s videos, books and distraction toys are available in the emergency department and other areas, and regular visits by several pet “volunteers” brighten the day for children and adults alike. More than a score of on-site family medicine and pediatric physicians devote themselves to the care of children and families. Pediatric subspecialists from the University of Minnesota make regular visits. Children and parents whose needs are greater have access to the Twin Cities largest children’s hospital, University of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital.

Our physicians and staff with advanced training provide medical oncology, hematology, chemo/infusion therapy, case management and radiation therapy services. At the Fairview Lakes Oncology and Infusion Therapy Clinic and adjacent University of Minnesota Physicians Radiation Therapy Center, teamwork ensures

coordination of care throughout the patient’s journey.
