Where to find MercyOne Des Moines Birth Center

What parents say

We delivered our beautiful baby girl in December 2023 and LOVED our team on delivery day. We never felt pressured to make a decision while at the hospital by the doctor (Dr. Jenkins) who delivered our baby.

I am seldom compelled to write reviews for anyone. However, I can't understate how amazing our experience with MercyOne was for the birth of our first child. First off, I want to give a special thank you to our L&D nurse Erica.

★★★★★ — Parker, 2025-07

Loved, loved, LOVED RN, Shaylor. As a first time mom I had concerns/ fears but she made sure I was as comfortable as possible as well as incorporating my support people as much as possible. She listened to every concern I had. I cannot stress how amazing of a nurse she is.

I’ve had 5 kids now from Knoxville to Chariton and three in Des Moines. By far best place!!!! Not only for mom but also for dad. Best service, knowledgeable staff, and all decisions were left up to us. Sam, and Kathryn you guys ROCK!! Great people all around.
