Labor & delivery
Having your baby at MLK Community Hospital
Our award-winning midwife-led labor and delivery department provides moms with both an expert obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN) and a registered nurse-midwife to ensure both a safe and comfortable birthing experience.
After baby is born
Pediatrics and healthcare for the whole family
We provide a free lactation clinic, classes and support groups for new moms, and a full range of new mom and well child care through our family medicine and pediatrics practice.
What our MLKCH families are saying
At MLKCH, we use a midwife-led birthing model, meaning our midwives are there to listen to your needs and guide you through birth, with expert physicians on hand should that be necessary. The results are telling. We've been on CalHospital Compare's Maternity Honor Roll for seven years running, earned a Baby Friendly designation, and have some of the lowest C-section rates in the state.
And perhaps more importantly than all of that—we have happy moms and families. Visit our testimonials page below to hear from MLKCH moms, families, and your care team.
