Valley Families Choose Saint Agnes to Welcome Their Babies
For nearly a century, Saint Agnes Medical Center has been a trusted place for Central Valley families to welcome new life into the world. Generations of mothers, fathers and grandparents across the Valley have a shared experience: they either were or know someone close to them who was born at Saint Agnes.
From private labor and delivery suites to specialized nursing teams and advanced technology, Saint Agnes maternity services are designed to ensure a safe and supportive environment for mothers and babies. Families also have access to childbirth education, breastfeeding support and postpartum care, helping parents feel confident well beyond delivery day.
As part of its mission to elevate the level of care and service provided to expectant moms, Saint Agnes provides the area’s only Obstetric Emergency Department that is staffed 24/7, 365 days a year, with board certified OB-GYN hospitalists. Moms-to-be who are more than 20 weeks along in their pregnancy journey and have urgent or emergent pregnancy-related needs can be seen by one of our hospitalists or by their personal OB-GYN, regardless of time of day, complications or circumstances.
Saint Agnes is also proud to have two Saint Agnes Care OB-GYN offices in Fresno, providing patients with access to a dedicated and compassionate team of physicians and staff that support moms-to-be and their families – at every stage of pregnancy, in the delivery room and through postpartum.
“Bringing a baby into the world is one of life’s important moments,” said Dr. Gurvinder Kaur, Saint Agnes President and Market Leader. “Our team considers it a privilege to be part of that journey, walking alongside parents from their first appointment through the day they take their baby home and beyond.”
Named People’s Choice Best Place to Have a Baby in Fresno
This year, Saint Agnes was voted Best Place to Have a Baby in The Fresno Bee’s 2025 Best of Central California awards – a recognition that reflects the trust families across the Valley continue to place in the hospital’s maternity care.
Hospital leaders say the honor underscores a tradition of excellence that has been central to Saint Agnes since its founding in 1929. Today, that tradition continues, as more Valley residents return to deliver their children at the same hospital where they themselves were born.
For expectant parents, Saint Agnes offers more than medical expertise. It offers a supportive environment, a legacy of trusted care and a commitment to making each family’s birth experience uniquely their own.
