Our Kids Deserve the Best Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Right Here in the Maritimes

IWK PICU room

While COVID-19 did not stop the IWK from building an incredible new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), it did impact the IWK Foundation’s ability to raise the remaining funds needed to finish this crucial project.

The new PICU is now open to patients. We want to give you an opportunity to see the difference it’s already making to help you understand how important it is for us to finish funding this transformation.

As you continue to scroll down this page, you will be able to view videos and written messages from members of the IWK community who will tell you what this space means to patients, families and IWK care teams.

Because of the support of donors, like you, the IWK’s most vulnerable patient population now has an amazing, world-class facility where they will receive life-saving critical care when they need it most. 

A Message from Jennifer Gillivan, President & CEO, IWK Foundation

While the construction of the space is finished, we urgently need to fulfill our commitment to the IWK to fund this project by March 31, 2021. Please consider making a donation to help us reach our goal.

A Message from the Willman family who benefits from care in the PICU

Testimonials from Staff:

"It has been wonderful to see the team settle into the beautiful new PICU. It is better than anything the PICU team could have dreamed of, hoped for or imagined. We are all very grateful for the generosity of the donors who made it possible to build a space that our patients and families need and deserve. It is state of the art and more than one physician has said it is the best critical care unit that they have seen!"  – Barb Ellsmere, PICU Redevelopment Project Clinical Lead, IWK Health

“The new PICU is an open yet private design that allows for great visualization and monitoring of the patient while maintaining privacy. It is a wonderful blend of technology while maintaining a beautiful appearance. The new unit has great family spaces both for spending time with their sick child and for taking a break away from the bedside for much-needed rest, sleep and nourishment.” – Denise MacIntyre, RN, PICU Clinical Leader, IWK Health

This virtual tour will show you around our maternity wards in Lothian to give you an idea of where you and your baby will be cared for during and after labour. It is a good idea to watch the films of both our St John’s, Livingston and Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh hospitals as there is a small chance you may deliver at a site a bit further away from home.

1st floor, general wing, kemh, visiting hours 12pm to 2pm and 4pm to 8pm fathers 8am to 8pm, tel: (441) 239-1459 (labour and delivery rooms).

Click here to read the full Maternity Unit Guidelines

KEMH makes every effort to provide a comforting, family-centered environment for the birth of your baby – an environment that welcomes your loved ones to be as much a part of this miracle as you choose.

Our highly trained staff will be available to assist you every step of the way, from labour through delivery, postpartum care for you and your baby, and instructions to put you and your family at ease when it’s time to take your new treasure home. All maternity nurses are both registered nurses and registered nurse midwives.

Think it’s time? If you think you are in labour, please call 239-2016 before you leave home, to let us know you are on your way.

Have these items packed and ready to grab and go:

  • Toiletries: soap, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, tissues and any beauty items you just can’t stand to be without
  • Personal : Breast pads and sanitary pads
  • Clothing: For you: a minimum of two nursing bras for breastfeeding, old comfortable underpants, loose, comfortable nightdresses, street clothing to wear home, slippers, a dressing gown and a shower cap (if you use one). For baby: sleepers, vests, socks, receiving blankets and stocking caps.
  • Entertainment : a cell phone or mobile device with headphones is fine.
  • Medicine: Prescribed medication only.

When you arrive , check in at the Admitting Desk in the Emergency Department of the Acute Care Wing where the clerk will take your information, then proceed to the Maternity Ward.

Only one support person will be allowed to be with you while you are in the labour and delivery room. Others may wait in the sitting room until you are transferred to your room. Your support person should keep other family members and friends updated so telephone inquiries to the labour room are kept to a minimum.

A hospitality trolley, courtesy of the Hospitals Auxiliary of Bermuda volunteers, comes by daily between 10:30am and 11am. Newspapers, small toiletry items and other goodies are available for purchase.

Valuables should be limited to essential items and a small amount of cash. BHB will not be responsible for loss or damage.

Watch this video for a virtual tour of the Maternity Unit:

Visitors are allowed only during the hours posted. No visitors are allowed during quiet time (2pm to 4pm). Visitors must first check with the security person at the door. Doors are locked between 8pm and 8am.

Pilot Programme: Rooming-in guidelines for partners on the postnatal ward

Please discourage visitors from handling your baby and do not allow siblings to visit if they have been exposed to chicken pox or other infectious diseases.

Neonatal Unit

The Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) adjacent to the Maternity Unit cares for babies born before 28 weeks and for other special needs babies. Infants who require care beyond what can be provided in Bermuda are most often referred to the IWK (Izaak Walton Killam) Centre at Grace Maternity Hospita l in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Childbirth Classes

Childbirth classes begin on the first Tuesday of each month and last for four weeks. They are open to expectant mothers and one birthing partner (coach) of her choice. Week 1 is an overview of pregnancy and the body changes to expect. Week 2 describes labour and delivery. Week 3 includes pain management and a tour of the hospital’s Maternity facilities. Week 4 concludes the course with a class on breast feeding.

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to image parts of the body for diagnostic and interventional procedures. Its use has become routine in imaging the fetus during pregnancy. It has also proved useful in imaging breast tumors that are not clearly imaged using mammography.

Alongside Midwifery Unit (AMU)

a suite in the midwifery unit. a birthing tub and chair can be seen

Location at hospital: Markham Stouffville Hospital, building B, 4th floor

Contact info: Midwifery Services of Durham: 905-427-5407 Uxbridge Community Midwives: 905-862-3535 New Life Midwives: 905-419-3232

The Alongside Midwifery Unit (AMU) at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital opened in 2018 and is the FIRST of its kind in Canada. The AMU is a centre of excellence for physiological birth with a midwife in a relaxed, comfortable, and friendly environment.

What to expect on the AMU

Our focus of care is the well-being of pregnant patients and their families. The AMU offers:

  • Accessible, responsive care provided in partnership with women, respecting their diverse needs and choices
  • Midwives in the community and hospital working closely together to deliver high-quality midwifery care that supports normal birth with confidence and competence
  • Encouragement of patients to be involved in all aspects of their care

While every birth is different and you are unique, here are some things to know about birth .

The AMU is a separate birthing area located beside an Obstetrical Unit with access to operating rooms and a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Physicians and other staff needed in emergencies are close by to assist if needed; however, the majority of birthing people admitted to the AMU will deliver on the AMU, and there is a low rate of transfer to the Obstetrical Unit and/or for C-section.

Patients select a community midwife clinic from one of our three partners: Midwifery Services of Durham , Uxbridge Community Midwives , or New Life Midwives .

About the AMU

In the AMU, specially designed birthing rooms provide a welcoming space for families with furnishings and equipment to support physiological birth, such as birth chairs, floor mats, hanging slings, and tubs suitable for water immersion and waterbirth. A double-sized Murphy bed is readily available after birth so that the new family can relax and enjoy skin-to-skin bonding time with baby.

Who can use the AMU?

The majority of birthing people under the care of a midwife are eligible to give birth on the AMU. If you are planning a hospital birth and are a client of Midwifery Services of Durham, or Uxbridge Midwives, and remain low-risk at the time of labour, you will be booked to birth on the AMU.

If your care is transferred to an obstetrician during your pregnancy, you will be booked to deliver on the Obstetrical Unit. A midwife can provide supportive care to you while there. Please speak to your midwife about any situation that could rule out an AMU birth (e.g., the need for a C-section birth, twins, or diabetes requiring insulin).

Water birth

As you prepare for the upcoming birth of your baby, you may want to consider taking advantage of water immersion and/or water birth . Water birth is a safe approach to childbirth that has been practised in many other countries for more than 30 years; it is gaining in popularity in North America.

If you are interested in labouring or giving birth in water, please discuss it with your midwife. Together you can determine if a water birth is a good option for you.
