Visitor Restrictions: We have a no-visitor policy in place, with limited exceptions for specific
patient situations. Although we deeply regret the anxiety that these rules
create for our patients and their families, we believe this policy is
necessary to keep our patients, team, and community safe from COVID-19.
Exceptions will be made for
ONE support person for Labor & Delivery.
If an exception is made for a visitor (must be the same visitor throughout
the patient’s stay), they will have to pass a temperature and respiratory
screen. Family and loved ones looking for patients can call (559) 624-2000
for patient updates. Click
HERE for more details on our visitor guidelines.
Patients will be transferred to the Mother-Baby unit approximately two
hours after the birth of a new baby.
Kaweah Health recognizes and agrees with all Mother and Baby organizations
that Breastfeeding for at least the first six months of life provides
the greatest health benefits for both mother and baby. We are dedicated
in providing support and education for any mother who feels she needs
this information. We can provide these services before the birth of your
baby, while in the hospital, and even after you go home through our
Lactation services. We believe that every baby deserves every chance to start life in such
a way to provide the best environment for a long healthy life. We are
Brain Friendly, Every Baby, Every Time. To help babies transition into
life outside of the womb, we follow up-to-date research which includes
skin to skin contact and delayed bathing.
Professional photography services are available through
Blue Daisy Baby Photography. View the packages available

care of their new baby. Parents will be instructed and provided materials
to assure they feel comfortable caring for their baby prior to discharge.
