AMAZING! 4/2/2010

I really love Bronson Methodist Birthplace! The place itself is so high tech, yet friendly and inviting. The women working there are so sweet and very experienced. I suffered from Hyperemisis Gravidarum as well as gestational diabetes with my first son and they were so helpful despite my very painful and uncomfortable position. They always knew how to help me and tried as best as they could to find remedies for me. Also, whenever I needed to refill a prescription they ALWAYS picked up, 24/7! I'm so sad that I live here in Arkansas but I just may have my baby I'm pregnant with back home because I LOVE BRONSON ! more

good birthing center 11/5/2005

This is a good birthing center. It's huge and on the same floor as the womens services, parking is in a conveniant location, although some spots are all filled on the floor and you have to park a level up during the day, which is annoying. I went here with the birth of my son, had a satisfactory experience even though I didn't give birth to him at the center, I did go here after the birth. The attending nurses/midwifes were great, informative and professional. They have clean, spacious rooms.very pricey though. it was over 1500.00 for an under 24 hour stay with no nursury care. more

Quality of care is hit or miss 9/14/2005

I'll start out by saying that my sister has had 3 babies here and has always received excellent care and had friendly nurses. However, the experience I had while in labor with my daughter 2 years ago was quite different. This was the first time I'd ever been in labor, so I didn't know what to expect. I was in quite a lot of pain, but doing my best not to act like it. The nurse laughed at me when I told her I was experiencing pain and told me "Just wait. You haven't even started yet." I had been in labor for 12 hours at that time. I was nauseous and threw up in the bed. She didn't clean it up, even after my husband asked her. We finally had to call another nurse in to bring clean sheets. Around this time she told me "Don't you dare poop in the bed because I'm not cleaning it up." Yes, she actually said that. On top of everything else, she did not believe I was actually in labor and wanted to send me home. I refused to go home, so they gave me morphine so I could sleep. Y more

  • Bronson Methodist Hospital, located at 601 John St. in downtown Kalamazoo, Mich., is the flagship of Bronson Healthcare Group, a not-for-profit healthcare system serving all of southwest Michigan and northern Indiana. With 404 licensed beds and all private rooms, Bronson Methodist Hospital provides care in virtually every specialty-cardiology, orthopedics, surgery, emergency medicine, neurology, oncology-with advanced capabilities in critical care as a Level I Trauma Center; in neurological care as a Joint Commission certified Primary Stroke Center; in cardiac care as the region's first accredited Chest Pain Emergency Center; in obstetrics as the leading BirthPlace and only high-risk pregnancy center in southwest Michigan, and in pediatrics as one of only four children's hospitals in the state. The hospital has been recognized for many quality achievements including the 2005 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, the nation's highest presidential honor for quality and organizational performance excellence.


    In 2000, Bronson completely redeveloped the hospital campus and has since become a best practice site for hospital design. Literally hundreds of healthcare professionals and architects from across the US and overseas have toured and studied the hospital, and we have had the privilege to strongly influence future hospital design.


    A unique feature of inpatient services is that all patient rooms are private. Studies by Bronson and others have proven that private rooms contribute to a reduction in the incidence of hospital- acquired infections. With complete privacy, patients are also able to rest without the distractions of a roommate, can spend more time with family, and can speak freely when using the phone and when discussing their personal situation with doctors and nurses.


    Today, patients who stay in the hospital tend to be more acutely ill than they were in the past. Bronson has more critical care rooms, and the larger general patient rooms can become critical care rooms if a patient's circumstances change. Even smaller touches such as light-filtering blinds, phones on side rails that are easy to reach and use, and larger buttons on phones and other communications equipment add to the overall ease and comfort of the hospital stay. Patient wear has also been upgraded to include robes, pajama pants and more comfortably fitting gowns


    The atmosphere within hospitals has changed dramatically over the years as the understanding of healing environments has grown. In designing this facility, we incorporated those elements that are scientifically proven to improve healing. Space, light, color and nature all play a role.


    Art is also an important component of the healing environment. There is a mix of rotating and permanent artwork, created by local artists, displayed throughout the hospital. One of the more unique works is in Bronson Children's Hospital, where murals bring to life a whimsical "Explore Michigan" theme.
