Where to find MercyOne Waterloo Birth Center

What parents say

For most part staff was great. Wonderful food. Communication between a few nurses was a bit lacking. However my personal experience was fantastic. My self and my husband stayed very comfortable during our stay. I love the band system for parents and baby. They breastfeeding consultant was wonderful.

★★★★☆ — Belissa, 2025-06

I've had four of my children at MercyOne. The nurses are always so encouraging, kind, and helpful. Always a good experience and joy to welcome another sweet child at this hospital! For two experiences Beth was my labour nurse -she's especially top notch! ...Betsy was great, too.

★★★★★ — Margaret, 2025-10
