Perinatal Evaluation Center (PEC)
The Perinatal Evaluation Center (PEC), which
links to the labor and delivery unit, is a special
maternity admissions area that serves as an emergency
room for pregnant women and a place for early
labor examination. The PEC is run by nurse practitioners
with specialized training in triaging women throughout
their pregnancy and in labor.
Mothers receive immediate expert care in a private,
comfortable setting and can be examined, cared
for, and sent home -- or if necessary, sent directly
to Labor and Delivery.
