San Diego Childbirth Hospital
Each pregnancy is different and so is each baby. At Tri-City Medical Center's San Diego childbirth hospital, our goal is to make every pregnancy and birth experience a special and positive memory to cherish forever. We provide high quality care in a comfortable, home-like setting.
Our state-of-the-art technology and award-winning professionals provide the best possible care for you and your baby, whether you are having a natural childbirth or are a high-risk delivery. Our San Diego childbirth hospital works with you and your doctor to plan a birth experience that ensures you and your baby are cared for every step of the way.
Maternity Hospital in San Diego County
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at our San Diego maternity hospital is ready for infants who need advanced care, and we have four neonatologists, who specialize in caring for newborns, in the hospital 24 hours a day for your baby's special needs. In fact, we have the second largest neonatal unit in San Diego County (second only to Rady Children's Hospital). In addition, operating rooms are close to delivery rooms so you are in the best of care.
