We encourage all clients that plan to deliver at York Hospital to call the Birthing Unit at 207 351-2129 to set up a tour of the unit if desired. We will be happy to answer any questions that you may have about our services or classes!

CLASS CHARGES
Charges for classes will be billed to your insurance (with the exception of belly casting - which insurance does NOT cover) on date of service. NOTE: Not all insurances cover all classes. It is important to find out from your insurance whether they will cover them or not, as any uncovered class fees would then become your responsibility.
