Additional Information: We are a community hospital with a monthly birth volume of 200+ deliveries. Our facility is experiencing significant growth, with the addition of new practices and healthcare providers. We collaborate with Diana Health, a laborist program that ensures 24-hour coverage by both an MD and a CNM. Additionally, we have dedicated anesthesia providers 24 hours a day. We are proud to be the first hospital in Chattanooga to offer nitrous oxide therapy for pain management, alongside epidural analgesia. Recently, we completed extensive renovations of our labor and delivery and mother-baby units, including the addition of six new, state-of-the-art mother-baby rooms. Our team utilizes advanced tools such as the Jada, fetal pillow, and Cook's catheters. Most of our nursing staff have completed Spinning Babies or Supporting Vaginal Birth classes to enhance patient care and outcomes.
