Department

Labor and Delivery (L&D) department is one of three units, alongside the Obstetrics Emergency Department (OBED) and Obstetrics Special Care Unit (OBSCU). L&D is a 15-bed unit dedicated to caring for both low- and high-risk mothers. It supports both medicated and unmedicated birth options, with nursing staff skilled in diverse labor support techniques. The unit is also equipped with three operating rooms and five Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) bays. The unit staffing mix includes nursing, OB scrub techs, residents, Certified Nurse Midwives, Doulas and OBGYN's.

The OBSR is an eight-bed urgent care unit where we triage expectant moms who are 14 or more weeks pregnant and need urgent care or observation. The OBSR is open 24/7 and is staffed by certified nurse midwives and registered nurses who work closely with OB/GYN physicians to provide the best care possible. OBSR nurses also care for patients up to six-weeks post-partum.

The OBSCU is a three-six bed high risk antepartum unit where care is provided for pregnant patients or postpartum patients having obstetric related health concerns. Patients requiring close monitoring until stable for discharge home, or transfer to Labor & Delivery for higher level of care receive their care here.
