Mount Sinai West, Oula celebrate 1,000th baby delivery in partnership
NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- Mount Sinai West and Oula are celebrating their 1,000th baby delivery.
The New York City hospital and the maternity clinic first partnered in 2021.
Oula features midwifery care that promotes a holistic and wellness approach to pregnancy and delivery.
Oula performs its deliveries inside the hospital setting of Mount Sinai West where patients have access to any obstetrics care they may need throughout the birthing process.
An overall push for greater access in birthing care is also driven by city and nationwide initiatives, like Mayor Eric Adams' call to reduce maternal and infant health inequities in New York City.
Mount Sinai Director of Labor and Delivery Dr. Desmond Sutton joined the Eyewitness News Morning's @10 team to talk about the partnership with Oulu and about what the hospital is doing to improve the care of mothers and babies.
Dr. Desmond Sutton is the twin brother of of ABC News Medical Correspondent Dr. Darien Sutton.
