At every OhioHealth maternity hospital, mothers and babies are served by board-certified doctors and experienced staff. We provide the latest in technology and accommodations for labor and delivery. We offer specialized prenatal and maternity care, and all the support services you need.

Professionals who may contribute to your care include:

• Anesthesiologists – Medical doctors with advanced specialization in administering medications to control pain and support vital functions. They care for patients before, during and after surgery.
• Gynecologists – Doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions that are unique to women. They provide routine physical care as well as advanced treatment for diseases affecting women’s reproductive systems and breast health.
• Lab Technicians – Professionals who draw blood, collect tissue and body fluid samples, and perform microscopic tests under the supervision of a medical technologist or doctor. Your doctor will use these test results to diagnose and treat your condition.
• Labor and Delivery Nurses – Registered nurses who specialize in caring for women who are in labor. Postpartum nurses care for mothers who have recently given birth. Antepartum nurses care for those who have pregnancy-related complications requiring hospitalization. During a cesarean (surgical) delivery, scrub nurses assist surgeons and circulating nurses manage patient care.

They may assist during and after a premature birth, serious illness or injury, or in instances of birth defects. If a condition is identified before birth, a neonatologist may consult with your obstetrician about pregnancy care.
