As the largest maternity unit of its kind in the region, the Joseph V. and Suzanne P. Paterno Women and Children’s Services Unit offers state-of-the-art technology, modern clinical spaces and family-centered comforts that reflect Mount Nittany Health’s commitment to clinical excellence.
Mount Nittany Health is a proud participant in the Pennsylvania Perinatal Quality Collaborative (PA PQC), an initiative dedicated to advancing high-quality, evidence-based care for pregnant and postpartum individuals and their babies. This work supports continued improvements in safety, outcomes and the overall birth experience for families across the region.
As part of its ongoing commitment to safe sleep practices, every newborn delivered at Mount Nittany Health goes home with a free sleep sack. For families who do not have a safe sleep surface, the organization provides a complimentary Pack ’n Play. Both initiatives are funded through the generosity of donors to the Mount Nittany Health Foundation.
Expectant and new parents also have access to free online childbirth and parenting classes through Birthly. Offerings include:
- Early Pregnancy Preparations
- Prenatal Education Bootcamp (English and Spanish)
- Coping and Comfort
- Breastfeeding 101 (English and Spanish)
- Newborn Care (English and Spanish)
- Perinatal Mental Health (New)
