Where to find The Birthplace

What parents say

I just gave birth here in February and was very happy with my experience. I ended up having an unplanned emergency c-section and felt very cared for by the staff. From Shandi to Brett to Sue and all the countless other nurses that were there during my stay - thank you!

Had both kids at The Birthplace, and I highly recommend it for all expecting moms. Every person who works there is incredibly knowledgeable and can’t do enough for you. I had full trust that everyone knew what I and my baby needed, and would give us the best care.

Salem Hospital's birthplace was an exceptional experience. My wife and I had our daughter here this past week and everyone from the front desk to the physicians were extremely nice, approachable and helpful.

Our son was born at The Birthplace just a few days ago and we could not have been better taken care of. From the doctors, to the nurses, the aides, the door/security staff, the custodial and food service team, the special care nursery unit, every single person made us feel like they were caring for their own…
