Sharp Grossmont Hospital for Women & Newborns Virtual Tour
We know mothers-to-be have many concerns — but even more so during this unprecedented time of uncertainty. We want to reassure you that Sharp Grossmont Hospital for Women & Newborns is here for you. Because we're not offering tours at this time, we've created a virtual slideshow of key areas to give you an idea of what to expect when you arrive to have your baby. We hope it helps to ease your concerns and answers some of your questions before your delivery.
Additionally, we’ve compiled several helpful resources in one place, to help you navigate your pregnancy. This includes a birth plan, a pre-admission form and other resources.
We also want to let you know that due to COVID-19 restrictions, and in the interest of keeping everyone safe and healthy, patients, loved ones and staff entering the building are screened upon arrival.

Sharp Grossmont Hospital for Women & Newborns Virtual Tour
Sharp Grossmont Hospital for Women & Newborns is committed to your health and safety. We deliver nearly 3,000 babies annually.
We are on Newsweek's Best Maternity Hospital List as one of the top U.S. hospitals for quality, safety and exceptional care. We also rank in the top 10 percent of hospitals for patient satisfaction in maternal and infant health.
Upon arrival, please check in at our front desk concierge. At this time, one support person can accompany maternity patients into the hospital. Designated support persons will be registered and receive a wristband at check-in.
After check-in, you will be directed to the triage desk. This unit assesses laboring mothers to determine the stage of labor.
Mothers progressing in labor are directed to triage. Depending on how your labor advances, you may stay here a short time or several hours. Mothers in active labor are moved to a labor and delivery suite, and joined by your designated support person.
Each labor and delivery room is private with a personal shower and sofa bed for a support person. After delivery, you will recover with your support person and baby in this room for a short time until you are moved to your postpartum suite.
If you have a scheduled or medically required Cesarean birth, your surgery will take place in our operating room. After delivery, you and your baby will be placed skin-to-skin in the recovery area.
After delivery, you and your baby may be moved to a postpartum suite to rest and recover more fully. Each suite has a private shower, flat screen television and offers a reclining sleeper chair for a support person to spend the night.
While in recovery, you will have access to breastfeeding support and your baby will receive several in-room health screenings, including a hearing test.
Parking is available in the Parking 2 garage in front of the main hospital. The first hour is free, thereafter additional fees apply. There are also free 20-minute parking spaces for discharge or drop-off in front of the Women’s Hospital.
We'll help find the doctor who's right for you.
