RN - Labor and Delivery - Days

About the Team

The Maternity Suite at Cambridge Hospital is a beautiful unit with lovely views of downtown Boston and Harvard Square. It includes a Labor and Delivery (L&D) Unit and a Postpartum Unit, helping more than 1,100 growing families every year. The 7-bed labor unit features 3 triage bays and 2 ORs, while the Postpartum Unit consists of 12 private rooms with a Level 1b continuing care nursery.

We are proud of our multidisciplinary patient care, our culturally sensitive approach to labor and delivery, and some of the lowest C-section rates in Massachusetts. The Postpartum Unit provides care for mothers and infants right after birth and through the early stages of postpartum to discharge, fostering a culturally sensitive approach to couplet care and early family bonding.

Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) brings Care to the People, serving our vibrant, diverse communities. As passionate advocates for the underserved, we actively partner with our communities to take on challenging public health issues and conduct important research to help reduce barriers to care. Our strategic plan is built on a vision of equity and excellence for everyone, every time, recognizing that our workforce is our most valuable asset.
