Congratulations on your pregnancy and the upcoming birth of your baby! Having a baby is such a special time in your life. We are honored to care for you during your labor and delivery and to care for you and your baby after your baby’s birth. Our expert team of health care providers offers several birth options in Highlands Ranch that deliver respectful, compassionate care.

UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital, the only hospital within Highlands Ranch, partners with the OB/GYNs in south Denver who have served this community for many years.

The Birth Center is here to help you throughout your pregnancy, labor, delivery and recovery and provide an extraordinary experience.

Services we provide

Pre-admission consultation

We want your birth experience with us to be extraordinary. To achieve this, the Birth Center at Highlands Ranch offers a free nursing consultation with one of our Birth Center Navigators. This one-on-one appointment will help us learn about you and your family as well as give you the opportunity to share your birth preferences with us.

During this visit, you can get information to help you prepare for your special delivery, ask questions about your upcoming hospital stay and take a tour of the Birth Center.

Please schedule your appointment with one of our Birth Center nurse navigators between 28 and 35 weeks into your pregnancy by calling 720.516.3008 or emailing HRHBirthCenter@uchealth.org. We offer daytime, evening and weekend appointments for your convenience. Appointments last approximately one hour.

Please complete and submit a pre-registration form prior to your delivery to streamline arrival. This form will help initiate some of your thoughts about your birth experience and help us learn about you and your preferences. Please bring this completed form with you to your appointment.

You may also call 720.516.0170 to pre-register over the phone. You will need to have your insurance information available.
