"Our first experience at the Childbirth Center in Overlake Medical Center was one we’ll never forget. Not only did they provide all of the education we needed prior to birth, the professional care and understanding from the staff was above and beyond our expectations."

"What a positive experience it was to deliver at the Overlake Childbirth Center! My wife, Cheyenne, and I arrived for an induction on the morning of Sept. 2, 2020, and every interaction we had with the nurses, doctors and staff was amazing."

Since their baby Bristol was born, Trace and London have been attending Overlake’s virtual support group for new parents, After Baby Comes. New mom London describes how helpful the group has been: “I had so many questions, and I didn't know all the questions I had until I experienced it…Lisa the nurse that helps with that—I'm so thankful for her.”

"We had an amazing experience welcoming our first child at Overlake Medical Center. Everyone we encountered at the hospital helped create a warm and supportive environment. As first-time parents, we felt especially nervous giving birth during COVID-19, but we felt safe from the moment we arrived at Overlake.

“My birth was emotional and scary at times, but it was a beautiful process. All of the staff at Overlake were so nice and professional. Their smiles and kind words encouraged me so much. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate the staff and their caring souls.”

"Baby Reny came into our lives by VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). My nurses respected my birth plan 100%. With the pandemic, I was anxious about delivering, but after seeing the nurses and how they worked, I felt at home. My time at Overlake was nothing less than a joyful and healing experience."

"When we found out we were pregnant again, we had about a month of excitement before COVID-19 shut the world down. We faced endless uncertainties, except for one: We would be delivering our second baby at the Overlake Childbirth Center. We knew we would be receiving excellent care at a time it mattered most."
