During Your Pregnancy

Prenatal Care, Education and Financial Assistance

At Carondelet St. Joseph’s Hospital and Carondelet Holy Cross Hospital, we’re dedicated to making your pregnancy as comfortable and easy as possible. We strive to answer any of your questions and explain the entire process so that you can feel at ease during your pregnancy.

Preparing with Educational Classes

One of the best ways to get ready for your child and learn about the childbirth process is by attending maternity classes. Classes include a wide range of useful topics, including:

• Childbirth preparation
• Comfort measures for pregnancy and labor
• Breastfeeding basics
• Newborn care
• Infant CPR and safety
• Breastfeeding Support Group
• Postpartum Support Group
• Childbirth Education Classes
• And more!

Financial Assistance

Knowing what to expect before you come to the hospital to give birth can help ease any concerns you have about paying for your delivery and stay. You’re invited to call one of Carondelet’s financial counselors before you arrive to find out:

• What your insurance plan will cover
• An estimate of your bill
• Payment options

If you don’t have health insurance or maternity coverage under your current policy, our financial counselors will work with you on a flexible payment plan. To qualify, you must apply for and get approved for a payment plan through one of our financial counselors before your expected delivery date.

You can reach a financial counselor at St. Joseph’s Hospital by calling (520) 873-3000 and asking for “financial counseling.”
