HUGS Security System
Home Specialties Maternity Care During Your Stay HUGS Security System

HUGS Security System

When you give birth with us, you get our sincere concern for your safety and peace of mind. That means we’ve invested a lot of time and thought into protecting your new little one and you while you’re in our care. To do that, we offer the state-of-the-art Hugs® security system to track and protect your newborn.

What is the Hugs® Security System?

The Hugs® security system is a special system in which we attach an electronic tag to one foot of your newborn. This allows them to be monitored around the clock, so we always know that they’re snug in their bassinet or with you and that they’re doing just fine.

 Additional Security Measures

We also add more security by making our birthing centers locked units, which means we have put into place secure systems of check-in and check-out and require all our team members to wear photo ID badges.

We consider the safety and security of our patients – especially our youngest! – to be a top priority. If you have any questions or concerns about security, please feel free to reach out to discuss them with us.
