At Cape Fear Valley, we deliver more than 4,000 babies each year. Our vast experience, spanning more than four decades, enables us to provide a full range of maternity services, from natural childbirth to high-risk obstetrics.

The Family Birth Center consists of 15 LDR (Labor, Delivery, Recovery) rooms, to provide single-room service for labor, delivery and initial recovery. Afterwards, new moms and their infants receive quality follow-up care in our Family Centered Care Unit, where one nurse cares for mother and child. Mothers are allowed to "room in" with their newborns virtually 24 hours a day if they wish.

Should problems arise, it's comforting to know that Cape Fear Valley provides a 44-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. This is a Level III unit, the highest level possible and Fayetteville's only NICU. It consists of 21 intensive-care beds, plus a 23-bed Intermediate Care Unit right next door. Medical supervision is provided by four physicians who are all board-certified in neonatology.

Cape Fear Valley provides a five-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for critically ill children and a nine-bed Pediatric Emergency Department.

Cape Fear Valley also operates the community's only civilian inpatient pediatric unit, The Children's Center. This 24-bed facility was recently redecorated with a child-friendly "Jungle Safari" theme. The private rooms contain fold-out "Murphy" beds, allowing parents to stay comfortably overnight with their children. Children also receive medical outpatient treatment at our Minor Treatment Center, where parents can arrange to meet their pediatrician after office hours, should the need arise. The Friends of Children volunteers enhance the services provided to our youngest patients.
