Abrazo Health Launches 'The Nest' Maternal Care Program at Two Arizona Campuses
Tenet-owned Abrazo West and Abrazo Arrowhead Unite Women's Services
Abrazo Health recently introduced "The Nest," a re-branded space and concept for women's and maternal health services spanning its Abrazo West and Abrazo Arrowhead campuses. The initiative brings together obstetric, neonatal, and postpartum care into one cohesive program designed to support women, infants, and families from pregnancy through recovery.
A Family-Centered Environment
The Nest is designed to function as a comforting, home-like setting during what leaders describe as one of life's most powerful and vulnerable experiences. Both campuses offer spacious private labor and delivery suites, advanced wireless fetal monitoring, dedicated 24/7 OB hospitalist and neonatal coverage, lactation education and consultation, and sleep accommodations for family members.
Neonatal Care at the Core
For families navigating premature births or medically complex deliveries, neonatal services remain a central pillar of The Nest. Advanced NICU capabilities are paired with care environments designed to ease family stress and encourage bonding.
Recent Capital Investments
The Nest's unveiling follows significant upgrades at both campuses:
- A $14 million NICU expansion at Abrazo Arrowhead, completed in 2023
- A $415,000 labor and delivery renovation at Abrazo West, completed in 2024
Arizona Group CEO Brian Elisco said the program reflects a belief that clinical excellence must be accompanied by compassion and emotional support.
