Marshfield Medical Center Birth Center – Eau Claire

Due to coronavirus cases in surrounding communities, Marshfield Clinic Health System locations are implementing temporary visitor restrictions. View visitor restrictions by location >

Marshfield Medical Center-Eau Claire Birth Center is requiring all patients and visitors to wear a mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Patients and visitors are asked to bring their own mask to wear. If a patient or visitor does not have a mask, we will provide one upon entry to the facility. Each patient and visitor also will be screened for COVID-19 upon entry to the facility.

During COVID-19, each patient at the Birth Center is allowed one support person to be with them.

• • We ask that the same support person remains for your entire stay.
  
• • If you have a doula as part of your birth plan, please provide certification to your Obstetrics provider or admitting nurse. Your doula may stay with you during the labor and delivery process. Once you and baby are stable, your doula will be asked to leave the hospital.
  
• • Your support person should stay in your room and limit time spent in the hallway or entering/exiting the unit and facility.
  
• • Your support person will be screened daily for symptoms of COVID-19.
  
• • We ask every support person to wear their face mask at all times, except when eating, drinking and sleeping.
