Mayo Clinic offers obstetric services in Eau Claire to birthing patients and their families expecting a child. This hospital birth center features large sized labor and birth rooms equipped with whirlpool birth tubs, birth balls, and other pain medication options as desired by the patient. 

The postpartum rooms are decorated with natural stone, and dried flowers creating a calming atmosphere for new parents. According to Tara Sabin, the Midwifery Supervisor for the Northwest Wisconsin region, the ambience in the hospital along with the "view of half-moon lake and the park leads to a feeling of relaxation. Sabin shares that during a stressful time period, when you've had your baby, everything around you at Mayo Clinic in Eau Claire favors relaxation.
