Welcome to The Birth Place.
For more than 45 years The Birth Place at Wilson Medical Center has provided excellent care for women and their families.
We know that choosing a hospital to deliver your baby is an important decision for you and your family.
Each year, more than 1,100 babies are born at The Birth Place of Wilson Medical Center. It is our goal to pay close attention to new moms, dads and babies. Our comfortable home-like atmosphere is the perfect place for you and your family to begin.
The Birth Place has anesthesiologists available 24 hours a day for epidurals, so there’s minimal waiting for pain relief. We also have
Cesarean facilities located in labor and delivery, and after the C-section new moms are able to recover in private rooms convenient for the family to visit. Central monitoring provides round-the-clock observation of mother and child while in labor.
Nursery
The nursery is specially equipped to care for newborns. New moms can room-in. Or, if mom prefers to rest, babies can be sent to the
nursery and returned to mom for feeding. A bonding room is also available for new parents to visit their baby
OB/GYN & Pediatrics
The Obstetrics/Gynecologic and Pediatric unit offer 32-private rooms, each with accommodations for a family member to stay.
Our care includes, but is not limited to treatment and surgery of the OB/GYN pre-and postpartum patient. We are prepared to handle pregnancy complications, diabetes, pre-term labor, hyperemesis and PIH. Our pediatric unit treats newborns through eighteen years of age in everything from pneumonia, asthma, diabetes, GI viruses and other illnesses requiring treatment.
