Take a Virtual Tour of the Family Birthing Center
As a community-based healthcare provider, Mat-Su Regional Medical Center's highest priority is the safety of the patients, healthcare team and community. Here is our current visiting policy:
- Patients in the Family Birthing Center may have two designated labor support persons in the room with them.
- During the postpartum period, adult visitors and siblings are welcome during visitation hours, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times (not including the mom). Please help us keep our moms and babies safe by not visiting if you're experiencing any symptoms of illness.

Mat-Su Regional Medical Center is a place of new beginnings. Advanced technology and thousands of babies begin life in our comfortable and welcoming environment.

Prenatal Care
Mat-Su Regional Medical Center's care begins in the earliest stages of a patient's pregnancy, with prenatal checkups, fetal monitoring and services tailored to your specific needs. You'll learn about proper nutrition and work with your obstetrician to develop a birth plan, choose a pediatrician and get properly prepared.
Labor and Delivery
Our delivery rooms provide everything doctors, nurses and other maternal specialists need to provide you with excellent care during childbirth, including a range of pain management options through contractions. Experienced labor and delivery staff utilize advanced medical technology, and manage C-section (cesarean) births and other surgical procedures.
Vaginal Birth After C-Section (VBAC)
Many women choose to have a vaginal birth after cesarean, or VBAC. If you previously had a cesarean birth but don't want or need a repeat cesarean, the obstetricians at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center are available to talk through the risks and benefits of having a VBAC.
