UnityPoint Health – Finley Hospital Unveils Renovated C-Section Suite

UnityPoint Health – Finley Hospital and the Finley Health Foundation are excited to announce renovation work has been completed on the Family Birthing Suites’ dedicated C-Section Suite.

The $1.4 million renovation, funded by area donors and the Finley Health Foundation, expanded the operating room, stream-lined the suite’s layout, enhanced functionality, and upgraded the equipment within a dedicated operating room for mother and baby. The space will begin being used by patients on Monday, Feb. 23.

“Generous support of area individuals, families, grants and corporate gifts enabled us to secure the funding to ensure we can be ready to serve families in the tri-state area well into the future,” says Barbara Potts, Executive Director of the Foundation, “Both Finley Hospital and the Finley Health Foundation would like to express our gratitude to everyone who made the renovation possible.”

Backed by Finley’s highly specialized NICU, the hospital is a leader in maternity care with 578 babies delivered in 2025.

“Providing an exceptional birthing experience is our goal for mother and baby,” said Jennifer Scott, manager of the Family Birthing Suites. “Innovative technology can play a significant role in that experience. A baby monitoring system now provides line of sight to the baby warmer in the suite. If the baby is not on the mother’s chest, she will have a monitor right above her head for a full view, to assist in the crucial bonding experience at birth.”
