Effective Sept 3 – Medical masks are now required in patient-facing areas of our hospitals, such as emergency departments, clinics, waiting rooms, diagnostic imaging, and inpatient units (including while visiting patients in their rooms). Masks are available at hospital entrances.
We provide state-of-the-art obstetrical, postpartum, paediatric, and neonatal inpatient and ambulatory services at Quinte Health. We are pleased to assist parents, and surrogates, during the birth of about 1,500 babies per year. To support our clients and staff, certified lactation consultants are also part of our team.
For labour and delivery patients, please click on the ‘Having a Baby at Quinte Health’ tab. Our social worker and nursing staff have provided information ranging from what to bring to hospital, and where to access prenatal and breastfeeding information, to helpful links and community resources for postpartum support.
For parents of pediatric patients, please visit our informative ‘Caring for Your Child at Quinte Health’ tab. Our social worker and nursing staff have assembled information on a variety of topics including breastfeeding, child development, accessing mental health support, and helpful links to community resources.
The Maternal Child Unit is located at Belleville General Hospital, on the 7th floor (Quinte 7). It is equipped with:
3 labour, birth, recovery rooms, also known as “birthing” rooms
16 postpartum rooms, where you can room-in with your newborn and have a designated care partner stay with you. These rooms may also be used for antepartum care if you need to be admitted during your pregnancy.
2 operating rooms for caesarian sections, and a recovery room.
A high-risk room for difficult deliveries
8 inpatient Special Care Nursery beds (for newborns requiring specialized care, including those who are born as much as six weeks early).
1 care-by-parent room
6 inpatient paediatric patient care rooms
procedure room for paediatric patients
The paediatric rooms include sophisticated monitoring capability and specialized air management systems. The design and décor complement the special needs of the hospitalized child.
Between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., all entrances at Belleville General Hospital are closed except for the Emergency Department entrance. The map at that entrance and the arrows on the floor can help you find your way to the Quinte Wing elevators. Take the Quinte elevator up to Floor 7.
