Shane G. Lalani Family Birth Center
Labor and Delivery at Livingston HealthCare
Every mother is unique—and so is every delivery. While our job is to ensure you have a healthy delivery, we want to do it your way.
We'll give you choices and let you create the birth experience you want, including factors such as:
- Who you want to be there
- How you want to manage your pain
- Opportunity for Trial of Labor After Cesarean (TOLAC)
We'll support you with one-on-one nursing care in labor with skilled and experienced staff. We want you to be comfortable and confident in the quality of care and in the quality of your experience for this very special event in your life.
Preparing for Your Birth Experience
To help you make the right choices and prepare for your pregnancy and birthing experience, we offer a prenatal education series and a prenatal education packet. Expecting mothers and their support team are also welcome to tour the Family Birth Center—ask questions about our delivery and postpartum rooms and meet nursing staff who will be there for you on delivery day.
To schedule a tour, please fill out this form and we'll be in touch shortly.

We support and promote the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding. It is routine practice to provide education on feeding your baby breastmilk starting during your prenatal care and after you've had your baby. Our certified lactation counselors provide support while you're in the hospital and after you go home. At delivery, we promote skin-to-skin time with your baby and support mother's to initiate breastfeeding. Our routine care incorporates rooming-in 24 hours a day while in the hospital. We do not provide breastfed infants any other fluids unless medically indicated. And we will support and provide education on how to feed and care for your baby.
We have several Certified Lactation Counselors available for either a phone consultation or to set up a one-on-one breastfeeding assessment. For more information on breastfeeding or to schedule a consultation, please call 406.823.6433.
Montana Perinatal Quality Collaborative
Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health
The Montana Perinatal Quality Collaborative (MPQC), in partnership with the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM), is a statewide initiative dedicated to improving maternal and infant health outcomes through evidence-based practices. We participate in a network of providers and public health professionals focused on identifying and improving perinatal health care processes in Montana. This group uses national, data-driven initiatives that provide "patient safety bundles"—evidence-based, structured practices designed to make childbirth safer in Montana hospitals, specifically targeting rural, remote, and AI/AN-serving facilities.
Perinatal Behavioral Health Initiative
Livingston HealthCare is proud to be participating in a perinatal behavioral health initiative that was developed by the Montana Healthcare Foundation and the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services. This initiative allows for the best possible outcomes of perinatal behavioral health conditions for mothers, newborns, and their families in the Park County region by creating a collaborative, team-based approach to care between Livingston HealthCare providers and community resources. These resources include the Park County Health Department, Community Health Partners, and Parents as Teachers. Click here to learn more.
