Women's Health

Women's Services

As the state-wide referral center for high-risk obstetrical care, Women’s Services include five in-patient units and two out-patient clinics located off campus at the Pulaski County Health Unit and the Freeway Medical Towers. The Mother Baby/ Women’s Health 14-bed unit provides non-complicated care to patients rapidly recuperating to begin the bonding process through couplet care and high-risk obstetrical and gynecological patients with benign conditions. Nursing education focuses on the parenting role and fosters the optimum mother/infant interaction and supportive teaching to the patient and family. A small nursery, adjacent to the unit provides a transitional nursery to couplet care.

Labor & Delivery

Our new Labor and Delivery unit located in the Harry P. Ward Clinical Tower consists of 11 LDRP rooms, four observation beds located in the triage area, two operating rooms, and a four bed recovery room to greater than 200 deliveries per month. The LDRP rooms allow the expectant mother to labor, deliver, and recover in the birthing suites with family support. Post-delivery, parents are allowed the opportunity to bond with their newborn. Two state of the art Neonatal Stabilization rooms are located on the Labor and Delivery unit and are used to stabilize acutely ill neonates with specially trained staff from the Intensive Care Nursery.

Intensive Care Nursery

The 19-bed Intensive Care Nursery (ICN) provides care to neonates ranging from early gestation to acutely ill full-term newborns. The 30-bed Specialty Care Nursery provides care to newborns from term to moderately ill neonates up to and including discharges from the ICN. Our new state of the art 10-bed Neonatal Critical Care Nursery offers care to the premature infant. The latest developmental and technological care combined with the expertise of our dedicated physicians and nurses allow the Nurseries to provide World Class Care! All Women’s Services collaborate as partners to standardize care and educational offerings including childbirth classes, clinical pathways and follow up for early discharge.
