AnMed to Open New Maternity Center May 24

Observer Reports

AnMed Health unveiled a new maternity center Tuesday designed with the hope of creating the most soothing and comfortable childbirth experience possible at its downtown Medical Center campus.

The center will open to patients May 24 and will relocate services formerly provided at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital at the AnMed North Campus. Returning these services to the Medical Center is intended to be more efficient by consolidating all inpatient acute care services in one location.

The AnMed Maternity Center is a 43,000-square-foot space spread over three floors that features nine labor and delivery rooms, 17 mother-baby suites, two dedicated ORs for C-section deliveries, a Level II nursery and offices for outpatient breastfeeding support and car seat installation services.

“The new maternity center is a beautiful space that offers all the amenities and services expectant parents need and deserve,” said Chief Nursing Officer Shaunda Trotter, RN. “But what we’re most proud of is the exceptional team of experts who come together to make the experience extraordinary for each mother and family who delivers here.”
