Who is the designer for the re-design? Also, what do the new rooms look like? A photo or rendering or floor plan would be nice. Thanks.

It's about time these needs are addressed. While square footage at a hospital always comes with a cost, this redisign which eliminates the typical herding of these parents and babies is long overdue. Mother-baby dyads learning to breastfeed as well as bond, need this kind of environment. Kudos to IHC on this one. Now if they offered free lactation assistance even after discharge to healthy babies who leave before the mother;s milk is in, they would really be pioneers in the field.
