We understand this is an exciting time, yet also a little stressful. If you have any questions or concerns about childbirth preparedness, please call TBH’s Childbirth Educator at 419.483.4040, Ext. 4295 to discuss education options. One-on-one appointments and phone consultations are available for Lamaze Preparedness & Breastfeeding.

The Bellevue Hospital knows that family members and loved ones play a key role in sharing this exciting time and showing support during this critical moment in your life. However, rest and relaxation is an important part of post-partum care and recovery. The Family Birthing Center is open to visitors between 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. - 8 p.m. daily. Quiet hours are observed between 2 - 4 p.m. All visitors to the Family Birthing Center must be over the age of 18, with the exception of baby's siblings. 

We believe that each patient has the right to receive quality care based on individual needs and age.  Patients and their families are involved in establishing priorities for the care that best meet the patient needs. 

We work to keep you safe in a clean and healthy environment.
