What if I decide not to deliver at the Birth Center?
One of the biggest advantages about the Mercy & Truth Birth Center is giving the
expectant mom the ability to choose! So if you decide not to deliver at our
Birth Center that is fine by us, our desire is for you the patient to do
whatever you are comfortable with doing.

How long can I stay after delivery?
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment
recommends that mothers and babies stay at the birth center a minimum of 6 hours
and not to exceed 24 hours. However, most of our mothers feel so good after
delivery they are ready to go home at 6 hours. Our nurses will then come to
your home and check on you and your baby within 24 hours of your discharge.

If you haven't do so by now, check out the
"Why Us?" link to read what others have had to say about their experience. Or
call 913-621-0074, chances are the person that answers the phone will be one who
has delivered at the Birth Center herself. At Mercy & Truth we believe
that if a service is provided it should be done in such a way that our own staff
will want to take part of the services provided, and we do.
