Advanced Technology and Small Town Support

When expecting a new baby, you have a lot of decisions to make, but few are as important as choosing your birthing center. From the moment you walk in our door at Mercy Birthplace - Pittsburg, we'll do everything we can to make you feel right at home.

Our bedside nurses are beloved in the community because they spend time getting to know you. They also work together as one team. That means your postpartum nurse might be the same nurse who helps deliver your baby. Also, the doctor you see throughout your pregnancy is typically the same doctor who will handle your delivery. All of this means better care for you when you need it most.
