A few updates to share with our patients:
1) There are a lot of rumors online about home births. The doctors at Somerset are always here for you. The Family Birth Center (Labor and Delivery) will always stay open, 24/7, even during a pandemic. We are NOT recommending home births.
2) Only two entrances are open at Beaumont Royal Oak: The South and East entrances. For pregnant patients, you should enter the hospital via the South Entrance. The Family Birth Center is on the third floor in the South Tower. The East Entrance is for all other patients (It will be locked from 9PM to 5AM).
Happy Medical Assistant Day!
We have lots of great ones in our office.
We appreciate you 😄
