Lake Granbury Medical Center received the Perinatal Care Certification from The Joint Commission. This certification recognizes our commitment to healthy mothers and healthy babies. The certification program, which covers prenatal care through postpartum care, is aimed at reducing maternal and infant mortality and complications, unnecessary induction of labor, elective deliveries, and prematurity rates.
The Perinatal Care Certification means we are dedicated to providing:
- Integrated patient-centered care that is tailored to the patients' needs and preferences
- Early identification of high-risk pregnancies and births
- Management of mothers’ and newborns’ risks
- Patient education and information such as free childbirth classes and a breastfeeding class and support group
Lake Granbury Medical Center is among 27 hospitals in the United States and the second hospital in Texas to hold this certification. In 2016, we were one of two facilities to obtain this certification in Texas, and presently remain one of only six Joint Commission certified facilities.
