How Adventist Health Lodi Memorial is elevating the birth environment
At Adventist Health Lodi Memorial, we believe every mother deserves a birth experience that feels calm, comforting, and supported. That’s why our Labor and Delivery team created something special for moms welcoming their babies into the world: the Labor Empower Cart.
This thoughtfully curated cart includes relaxation tools, comfort items, and natural coping supports that help transform the room into a soothing, personal space. We believe comfort isn’t a luxury; it’s part of exceptional care.
A more peaceful environment
If a patient requests this experience, they will notice the difference the moment they step into their labor room. Soft twinkle lighting and calming galaxy projections create a gentle ambience. Moms can enjoy aromatherapy or listen to calming music and guided relaxation. These small but meaningful touches help ease anxiety and create a more peaceful birth experience.
Comfort tools that support your labor
To help moms cope physically, our Empower Cart includes massage rollers, heat and cold therapy packs, birthing balls, and positioning aids. Each tool is chosen to offer comfort, encourage mobility, and support natural labor techniques.
Support for every birth plan
No matter how you choose to bring your baby into the world, our nurses are here to support you. Whether you prefer an unmedicated birth, want an epidural, or are preparing for a cesarean, our team uses comfort focused care to guide you through each moment. We’re here to help you use the tools, find helpful positions, and create an environment that feels right for you. Our goal is simple: a calmer birth and an empowered experience for every mother.
