Patient Testimonial
“Labor and Delivery and Postpartum wings were absolutely amazing. Every single nurse and staff worker were competent, caring, and wonderful. My experience was so great. Everyone was caring and took their time with me and my newborn. Everything was explained to me and I did not have a single bad experience.” – Vanessa R.

Birth Certificates
Birth certificate-worksheets are provided to you during your stay by the Vital Statistic Clerk.
In order to receive a copy for your records, you must submit an application to the State of Arizona. This requires a fee and a copy of your driver’s license. If you choose to have a social security number issued to your baby, it will be mailed in a few months by the Social Security Administration.
Paternity Affidavit is also available. The Vital Statistics Clerk can be contacted at 928.537.6362.
Lactation Services
The OB department has lactation services available to our patients and also provides outpatient lactation consults. Please contact labor and delivery at 928-537-6711 if you need to reach the lactation consultant.
