Postpartum care in South Denver
At Sky Ridge Medical Center in South Denver, we understand your experience does not end after you give birth to your baby, so neither do our services. Following childbirth, you and your baby are transitioned to a private mom-baby room where we continue to care for you and your baby during your hospital stay.
For more information about Sky Ridge Medical Center's postpartum care services, please call our women's coordinator at (720) 225-4111.
