Maternity Admissions

At El Camino Hospital, we're dedicated to making your check-in experience as seamless as possible. Once we receive your registration, we’ll process your information, verify your insurance, and make arrangements for your admission to the hospital. We recommend you register at about 24 to 30 weeks gestation.

Have this information ready when it is time to register your upcoming delivery:

• Delivery details such as due date and selected hospital site (Los Gatos or Mountain View)
• Emergency contact information
• Insurance details
• OB or Midwife's first and last name
• Selected Pediatrician's first and last name
• Preferred pharmacy address

Please follow the steps below to register for your delivery using myCare; your myCare profile contains information from your medical record. Here you will have access to managing your upcoming visits, access test results, request prescription refills, and many other features.

If you do not have a myCare account or have forgotten your log in information...
