Call 252.494.9567Delivering only the best for you and your family.
For nearly 50 years, 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 800 babies are born at 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.
Next Steps
Our Women's Pavilion features spacious, homelike rooms with private bathrooms for added comfort and privacy. We also have a Cesarean delivery suite and nursey.
There are anesthesiologists available 24 hours a day for epidurals, so there’s minimal waiting for pain relief. 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.
OB/GYN & Pediatrics
The Obstetrics/Gynecologic and Pediatric unit offers 22 private rooms, each with accommodations for a family member to stay overnight.
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.
