Level II Nursery
At SOGA, our staff knows how important the birthing experience is to our patients and their families. For this reason we continue perform all of our deliveries at the St. Joseph’s Hospital Women and Infants Center in Breese, Illinois. We feel St. Joe’s Level II Nursery allows us to offer patients the safest available birthing experience for both mom and baby.
If you’re an expecting mother or a patient wishing to become pregnant, it’s important to understand the difference between Level I nurseries and Level II nurseries before making a decision on an obstetrical provider.
