My wife and I wanted a place that was comfortable and homey, where we could be together and the baby's brother and sister could come visit. After all, this is a family affair; and that's why we chose Albemarle Hospital. They have private birthing rooms that look just like our own bedroom. Dads can be there to help with the delivery and new moms and new babies get to spend lots and lots of time to share that important bonding experience. As you can probably tell, I think it's a great place to have a baby. If you're expecting and would like a ? _ ? ? personal tour of Albemarle's birth- MP Iff ** ing center, feel free to call.
