Tampa General Hospital’s Women's Center has two separate waiting areas – one for families of patients in labor and one for families of patients undergoing surgery. The OB waiting area, with expansive views and comfortable seating, provides a relaxing environment for families. The area also offers small-scale furniture and kids' activities for families with children. Patient education materials are available as well as free wireless Internet access
The Women’s Center has 12 private triage / pre-operative rooms. Each room has a private bathroom and is equipped with a telephone and television. Bedside computers allow caregivers to enter and view patient information quickly and privately.
Designed to feel more like bedrooms, the 21 labor / delivery suites make patients and their families feel at home. Each suite was designed with soft colors, wood-like floors, wood cabinets for medical equipment and storage, televisions with DVD-VCR-CD players and private bathrooms and showers. Each room has a large window with an expansive view, space for family and a large built-in sofa that can open into a bed.
The Women’s Center has a five-bed OB surgical recovery unit that supports family-centered couplet care. Babies remain with mothers from the OR to recovery and beyond.
Separate from the OB waiting area, the GYN surgery waiting area offers families a quiet, comfortable space with expansive water views, comfortable seating and free wireless Internet access.
Adjacent to the GYN surgery waiting area, the 10-bed, private pre-operative / recovery unit is dedicated to GYN surgery patients. Bedside computers allow caregivers to enter and view patient information quickly and privately.
The Women’s Center has four OB surgical suites for C-Sections that are large enough to accommodate multiple births. The In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) laboratory also uses these surgical suites. In addition, the center has four GYN surgical suites dedicated to GYN surgery patients.
At approximately 4,600-square-feet, the beautifully landscaped Women's Center Garden offers a peaceful environment for Women’s Center patients and families. This non-smoking area is equipped with lighting for enjoyment at night as well.
