Choose a Birth Center

Where you have your baby is an important choice. That's why you can pick from large network of hospitals all across Washington.

We also encourage you to tour the hospital's birthing center. This way you will be familiar with it. And you'll be more relaxed when you have your baby.

Choice of Doctor

You will have a primary care physician (PCP) who will be your main doctor. Your PCP is the person you should see for most of your care. This includes checkups, treatments, vaccinations, minor injuries and health concerns. Talk to your PCP about any behavioral health concerns you may have. Your PCP can help you decide the right options for you.

Your PCP is your main doctor for:

• Preventive care.
• Treatment if you are sick or injured.
