Delivering at Forest Hills Hospital — What to Know
Forest Hills Hospital is part of Northwell Health. Its obstetrics unit is on the third floor with 23 maternity beds, and the nursery is designated Level II by New York State, so most babies who need some extra support can stay on site with you.
The hospital has held Baby-Friendly designation since 2017, which means staff are trained to support rooming-in and early breastfeeding from the first hour.
We were not able to confirm a written doula policy for Forest Hills Hospital, so we confirm the current support-person rules with your care team before your due date and follow staff guidance on the day.
YourCherish provides doula support in English, Russian, and Spanish — ensuring full communication and advocacy regardless of your primary language.

Your Birth Story at Forest Hills Hospital: Doula + Photography
Your YourCherish doula is also a documentary birth photographer, so you never have to bring a stranger into your birth room. Families delivering at Forest Hills Hospital can add any of these to their doula package:
Birth photography by your doula. The same person supporting you through labor at Forest Hills Hospital quietly documents your labor and your baby's first moments, without adding another person to the room.
