Labor & Delivery in West Alabama

Our Facilities for Women’s Services

West Alabama is fortunate to have two excellent facilities offering both family-oriented childbirth and intensive care units for critically ill newborns. The Women’s Center at DCH Regional Medical Center and Women’s Pavilion at DCH Northport Medical Center both offer private rooms decorated in a homelike atmosphere.

The Women’s Center is conveniently located on the third floor of DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and is designed to help expectant mothers and their loved ones enjoy the birthing experience together. Throughout the birthing experience, mothers remain in their own labor, delivery and recovery room (LDR). After giving birth, the new mother moves from the LDR to a home-like, private room or suite in a unit that specializes in the care of new mothers and infants. Each comfortable, attractive room features a sleeper for a family member or guest.

The Women’s Pavilion at Northport Medical Center, located in Northport, Alabama, and is designed to help expectant mothers and their loved ones enjoy the birthing experience together. Throughout the birthing experience, mothers can stay in the same comfortable room from the time she arrives until the day she goes home. Specialized care is provided to mothers and infants moving through the phases of labor, delivery, recovery and post-partum while staying in the same room. Each comfortable, attractive room features a sleeper for a family member or guest.

Both hospitals feature neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) directed by physician specialists and staffed by experienced nurses.

Both hospitals feature Certified Lactation Consultant’s available to answer questions and concerns about breastfeeding. A lactation consultant will assist you in your breastfeeding experience.

The DCH Health System offers clinical-based education programs through the Women's Center at DCH Regional Medical Center and Women's Pavilion at DCH Northport Medical Center.
