Grand River Hospital

Welcome to Grand River Hospital's Childbirth Program. We are located at the hospital’s KW Site, 835 King Street West, in Kitchener on the fourth floor of the hospital, primarily in the D Wing.

We are the largest community hospital-based obstetrical program in Waterloo Region and deliver approximately 4,300 babies each year. We offer care and support through our inpatient unit, and several outpatient clinics.

Childbirth is a wonderful experience and we feel privileged to share this with you. We are here to provide you with care and support that considers you and your family’s unique needs. We encourage expectant parents to participate in their care by making informed choices within the limits of safety.

At times, stressful situations can occur during pregnancy and the birth. Your care team will provide the support you need. Your team will include physicians, midwives, nurses, social workers, dietitians, physiotherapists, lactation consultants and a clinical nurse specialist.

We hope that this information is helpful and that your stay is as comfortable as possible. Should you have any questions, we invite you to send them to us through childservices@grhosp.on.ca. You may also speak with Grand River Hospital’s patient relations coordinator at extension 2966.
