Welcome to perinatal care at London Health Sciences Centre's (LHSC) Victoria Hospital.
As a teaching program affiliated with Western University, the Birthing Centre is home to more than 6,000 births per year. A philosophy of family-centred maternity care is the hallmark of all programs in perinatal health. We recognize that childbirth is a natural, profound right of passage and each experience is both personal and unique.
