Welcome
At Overland Park Regional Medical Center, we strive to provide you with the birth experience
you want. We can assist you in a fully natural, un-medicated delivery, but we are equipped to
handle the most complex deliveries when necessary. Discuss your preferences with your doctor or
nurse midwife and he or she will be able to share with you what your options are based on your
specific case. When you arrive we will all work together as a team to balance your preferences
with a safe and comfortable delivery.
We will customize your birth experience within the scope of safety and medical regulations. Our
rooms offer flexible lighting and you are welcome to bring your favorite music with you. Four of
our delivery rooms offer Jacuzzi tubs.
Pain medications are available. Anesthesia staff are available 24 hours per day if you desire an
epidural.
We have portable monitoring technology so you will have the freedom to move around as you
wish. Many patients enjoy walking the halls while being continuously monitored.
Well newborns can stay with parents in their room, but a nursery is available if you need some
time to rest. Our Level IIIb Neonatal Intensive Care Unit can provide care for babies with
complications.
Your visitors may be in the labor room with you or in the waiting room. If you must have a
C-section you may have one support person with you, other visitors will be allowed to see you as
soon as possible.
Maternity Checklist
Women’s Center Tours
If you would like to see our birthing facilities, Women’s Center tours are available three times
per week: Monday and Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. You
do not need to schedule your tour in advance. Just come to the hospital at any of the scheduled
times and have a seat in the patient waiting area, located next to main floor elevators. A tour
guide will arrive and take you to the maternity floor where you will see a labor room, a motherbaby room and the nursery. If you choose to deliver at Overland Park Regional Medical Center,
please complete and send in a pre-registration form (page seven), schedule a pre-admission
appointment and choose an infant physician. Other options are available as you desire.
Maternity Pre-Registration (page 7)
Please complete the maternity pre-registration form, located on page 7, and send at your earliest
convenience. This will help ensure accurate and timely submission to your insurance company
and allow you to receive an estimate of your costs, based on your individual insurance carrier.
A prepaid envelope is attached to the registration form. If your envelope is missing you may
mail to: Maternity PreAdmission, Overland Park Regional Medical Center, 10500 Quivira Road,
Overland Park, KS 66215 or if you prefer, it can be e-mailed to [email protected].

• Please include a copy of the front and back of your insurance card, and a copy of your
photo ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.)
• Mothers will be registered using the name on your current photo ID. Babies are “labeled”
with their mother’s name during the hospital stay, however, the baby may be given
whatever name you choose on the birth certificate. It can take several weeks for you to
receive a new insurance card.
Select a Physician to Care for Your Baby at OPRMC
(See enclosed physician list for helpful instructions.)
You must select a physician, with privileges at Overland Park Regional, to care for your baby
in the hospital, well before your expected delivery date. A list of these doctors is provided in
this booklet. This may be a pediatrician or a family practice physician. If you have selected a
physician who does not have privileges at OPRMC, then you still need to select one from the
list for temporary in-hospital care. Be certain that the physician is covered by your insurance.
Additional help for physician selection is on the back of the list.
Prenatal Education
To enroll in childbirth, breastfeeding or sibling classes, call Healthy Arrivals at 913-438-4773 or
log on to www.healthyarrivals.org. Log on today and register, for the best selection of date, time
and location for your classes. The breastfeeding class is highly recommended for those planning
to breastfeed.
Schedule Your Pre-Admission Appointment at 913-541-5058.
During this private meeting you will initiate your baby’s birth certificate registration form
(baby’s name is not included at this time), discuss and sign consent/refusal for infant procedures,
receive information about hospital routines and options, ask questions and share requests for
your birthing experience. Then when you arrive at the hospital in labor, you will be able to
concentrate on your childbirth experience. You should call for your appointment at about 30 weeks
gestation. Appointments are required to ensure privacy and individual attention for all families.
(Please have your baby’s doctor chosen by your scheduled appointment time.) If your schedule
may be a little busy toward the end of your pregnancy, please call before your 30 week date to
schedule your appointment. Everyone needs a Preadmission appointment.
Safety and privacy are top priorities for you, your infant and family
The Women’s Center at Overland Park Regional Medical Center is a secured unit.
Additionally, other measures are in place to ensure safety and privacy.
• Visiting Hours in each unit have been established to allow you and your family time to
rest and enjoy the birth of your child.
• Our employees wear picture identification badges with a pink stripe. Please feel free at
anytime to ask the staff to show their picture I.D.
• Matching identification bracelets will be placed on you, your infant and Dad/significant
other at the time of your infant’s birth.
• You can rest peacefully knowing OPRMC also has a state-of-the-art, electronic infant
security system in place.
• You will receive safety tips and information upon arrival at the hospital.

Overland Park Regional Medical Center offers a wide range of women’s health services in addition to
maternity services. These include preventive services from state-of-the art diagnostics and screenings,
to advanced services such as gynecological surgeries and cardiac catheterizations.
The Women’s Center Mission
“Together we touch life… by providing high quality perinatal and neonatal services in an
atmosphere of compassion, care and respect.”
Birthing Center and Women’s Services
Overland Park Regional Medical Center offers family-focused comprehensive care that will
enhance your birthing experience from conception, throughout your pregnancy and after you
deliver. Labor and delivery rooms have delivery equipment and baby warmers to serve you
and your family during the entire event. When mom and baby are stable and rested, you will
move to the quieter mother/baby unit for the remainder of your hospital stay. There, the staff,
including lactation consultants, will continue to educate and care for you and your family
until discharge.
• Our Pre-Admission Program helps to streamline the hospital admitting process with
individual appointments, familiarizing you with the hospital surroundings and paperwork
before you are admitted.
• FREE Valet Parking is available to our patients and their family members. Drive to the
hospital’s Main Entrance where a valet parking attendant will greet you and park your car.
The service is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. If your visit
extends beyond 8:00 p.m., call the Information Desk at extension 5535 and the volunteer
will have hospital security give you your keys and drive you to your car.
• Web Babies. With parental permission, this free service posts newborns’ photo, height,
weight, first and last initial onto our Web site at www.oprmc.com. This is posted within
three business days after discharge.
High-Risk Pregnancies and Deliveries
Our nursing staff is accustomed to handling obstetrical cases that require additional knowledge
and specialized training. Perinatologists work with physicians throughout the Kansas City area,
western Missouri and eastern Kansas to deliver specialized perinatal care for high-risk maternity
patients. They provide 24-hour response to emergency situations for a 15-county area.
two
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
In the event of unexpected difficulties, moms and families may remain in the convenient and
familiar surroundings of our facility because we have a Level IIIb Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit (NICU). The NICU has state-of-the-art equipment designed to support newborns with
respiratory difficulties or other high-risk complications. Our staff is specifically trained in
neonatal care and consists of neonatologists, neonatal nurse practitioners and nurses. The team
also includes a social worker, respiratory therapists and lactation specialists.
Family-Focused Maternity Care
At Overland Park Regional Medical Center we believe family-focused care encompasses the
family’s educational needs from conception through discharge of you and your baby. We
recognize family individuality and promote interaction between the family and infant to
provide a complete circle of care.
We believe:
• Your new baby will involve your whole family in a time of change and growth.
• You, your physician or midwife, and our staff are partners in providing a friendly,
comfortable, safe, and supportive atmosphere for your baby’s birth and first days of life.
• You share the responsibility for making decisions and participating in your care and the
care or your baby.
• You and all persons involved in your birth experience deserve to be treated with respect
and integrity.

Before your baby arrives
Find a pediatrician or family physician who has privileges to practice at the hospital where
you will deliver your baby. This physician will check baby while he or she is in the hospital.
Often, this doctor also will be baby’s post-hospital doctor. If not, you’ll want to retain
another physician for vaccinations, well-baby checks and other needs.
Financial Concerns: It is a good idea to check into your insurance coverage, so you are
prepared for any out of pocket expenses. We do not want you to be surprised about financial
issues, so here is a checklist for you to follow.
• First, check to make certain OPRMC is covered by your insurance.
• Next, check your insurance coverage. Often, you may be responsible for some portion of
the hospital’s bill. This varies widely depending upon your personal coverage. This bill
is usually separate from your maternity care provider’s bill. There may also be other
physicians involved in your care here at the hospital who will have bills separate from
the hospital. Physician groups who may be involved in your care and bill you separately
include: anesthesiologist, pathologist, cardiologist, emergency department physician,
radiologist. The anesthesiologists and pathologists are the ones who are most frequently
involved in maternity care, but others may also provide care.
• We occasionally have patients who find their health insurance doesn’t offer maternity
coverage. If this is the case, we offer a discounted “Prepayment Plan.” If you need
information about this, you may call our financial counselors Monday through Friday 7:30
a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For patients with last name A-L (913) 541-5887 or M-Z (913) 541-5321.
Get a car seat: Kansas will not permit your baby to leave the hospital without a car seat. Baby
stores and discount department stores carry them. Infant seats have a handle that lets you carry
baby to and from the car. It is recommended that you visit your local police or fire department to
assist with proper car seat installation. Seats are installed incorrectly about 85% of the time. To
search for locations go to www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/childps/cpsfitting, then enter your zip
code. Be sure to call ahead to determine availability and times.
Select baby names.
If you have already chosen a name, you can complete baby’s birth certificate and social security
number application quickly and easily in the hospital. Birth certificate information MUST be
completed before discharge.
Lactation Services
Taking a breastfeeding class is a good way to ensure breastfeeding success. For information
about breastfeeding and other prenatal community classes, go to www.healthyarrivals.org or call
Healthy Arrivals at 913-438-4773.
Even though breastfeeding is a natural process, some mothers find themselves facing challenges.
Our lactation consultants are registered nurses who work with mothers to prevent and solve
four
breastfeeding problems. They are certified by the International Board of Certified Lactation
Consultants and have extensive educational and clinical expertise. Services offered include
breastfeeding classes, inpatient counseling to mothers, routine follow-up calls after discharge
and daytime phone assistance for problems. Breastfeeding support is available by calling
(913) 541-5208.
Breast Pumps and Breastfeeding Supplies
We now offer all new breastfeeding mothers information on breastfeeding supplies, types of
breastpumps, rental and purchase resources. If you prefer to rent a breast pump, you can do so by
calling customer service at Medela (1-800-835-5968) or Engell (1-800-323-8750). They can help
you locate the nearest rental office. If you have difficulty, please let us know and we’ll help you.
Prepare your home:
Plan where your newborn will sleep during the first few days or weeks. Set up the bassinet
or crib and diaper changing area (either a changing table or cleared and covered dresser with
changing necessities nearby) with a diaper pail for soiled diapers, a hamper for your baby’s
laundry and a plastic-lined wastebasket for discarded wipes.
Childproof your home by removing all hazardous materials from lower level cabinets and/or attach
locks to cabinet doors. Place baby-safe plugs in electrical outlets throughout the house. Buy and test
a baby gate that prevents falls down stairs.
Pack it up!
Getting ready for the hospital
In the flurry of activity as you rush to the hospital, you might forget a few necessary items. Most
birthing counselors suggest that you pack your hospital bags at least two weeks before baby is
due. Some suggest packing two bags—one for labor and delivery and a second for postpartum
and your trip home. Either way, you will want a few essentials:
For Labor Comfort (be sure to put
your name on everything)
•

•
•
•

Postpartum Essentials
• Phone numbers of family members and friends

Pre-Registration Form
When it’s time for the birth of your baby, the last thing you want to think about
is paperwork! That’s why we’ve developed the attached pre-registration form and the Maternity
PreAdmission Program. First complete this form. Please copy both sides of your insurance card.
Place the Maternity PreRegistration form and insurance copy in an envelope and mail or email
[email protected].
Then refer to “Maternity Checklist/Timeline.” We hope you will schedule a PreAdmission
appointment so you will have the opportunity to have a private one-on-one appointment with
a PreAdmission Nurse who will discuss hospital routines and options and help you to complete
additional paperwork related to the care and treatment of your baby. You may also discuss
your preferences and share requests so that you will be free to concentrate on your childbirth
experience. APPOINTMENTS ARE REQUIRED to ensure privacy and individual attention
for all families.

Medical Center, 10500 Quivira Road, Overland Park, KS 66215 or if you prefer it can be e-mailed
