Exceptional Personal Care for the Most Important Moment of Your Life

 At Gateway Regional, you will never be just another patient having a baby. We treat each and every birth as unique and special. We love helping mothers bring their babies into the world, and share in the joy with each of them.

 

 Comfort & Joy

We provide a comfortable, peaceful environment for your birthing experience. Our Birthing Suites have the latest technology to ensure your baby’s safe delivery, while providing all the comforts of home. Each room has soft lighting, plenty of space, a TV/VCR and CD player, and a nice sleeper for your partner. We’ve created a beautiful setting for you and your family to welcome your bundle of joy.

 

An Experienced Nursing Staff

Our obstetric nurses have a wealth of experience and care about each and every family. Many of our nurses have been with us for over 10 years. We believe we have some of the best OB nurses in the entire St. Louis metropolitan area. Just ask anyone who has given birth at Gateway Regional!
