Marin General Hospital's newly-remodeled Family Birth Center opened in December 1997, offering expecting mothers and families the same birthing care they have received at Marin General with many of the comforts of home.

The experienced staff at Marin General has assisted with more than 56,000 births since the hospital opened in 1952. In 1996, as one of the final elements in the hospital's 10-year modernization program, the hospital began renovating the birthing unit and raising funds for construction.

The 9,600-square-foot Family Birth Center is decorated in soft pastels, new furnishings and original works of art. The rooms feature rocking chairs, private baths with showers, and air conditioning.
