Here’s to spending far less time worrying, and far more time resting, relaxing, and rejoicing in your new family. You've got this, and so do we.

You’ve read all the books, purchased all the gear, even painted the nursery. And though nothing can ever fully prepare new parents for what’s to come, we can help you fill in some information gaps with pregnancy education and support opportunities to help you know what to expect before, during, and after your baby’s arrival. Expectant moms and partners are invited to take our childbirth education class and lactation workshops taught by certified educators. Plus, soon-to-be parents and even siblings are encouraged to take our comprehensive hospital orientation tour.

Emergencies can happen at any moment. At hospitals across the country, OB Hospitalist Group hospitalists are standing by to help women who are pregnant or have just given birth. The Baby Place at AdventHealth Gordon utilizes this program to provide around the clock care from hospital-based OB/GYN physicians to better serve you.

What Is an OB Hospitalist?

An experienced OB hospitalist is onsite 24-hours-a-day to provide consistent, comprehensive, quality medical care to women who are pregnant or have just given birth. In addition to handling deliveries, OB hospitalists are there to assist with any issues and emergencies that may arise. This includes anything from elevated blood pressure to more serious issues that may require immediate surgery.

Benefits of an OB Hospitalist Program

• Every expectant mother is evaluated and treated by a physician regardless of time, location, complication or circumstance.
• Consistent care is offered to patients in the hospital, as well as those arriving at the hospital labor and delivery unit. Our OB hospitalists can evaluate the progress of labor, review test results and monitor fetal heart rate tracings. In addition, our clinicians will address any evolving issues and provide patients with a safe delivery. Patients experiencing any post-delivery issues also receive consistent, quality care from our OB hospitalists.
• When it comes to emergencies, OB hospitalists are highly skilled in providing emergent care, and they are always on site if an unexpected emergency occurs.
• If your obstetrician is unavailable or delayed in reaching the hospital, there is always an experienced OB/GYN physician available to offer medical expertise and provide optimal patient care.
• Our OB hospitalists are partners with your regular OB/GYN physician, so they will review your medical record and birth plan with your physician to accommodate your delivery wishes, depending on your medical circumstances.
• There are fewer perinatal safety events and less cesarean deliveries at hospitals with an OB hospitalist program.
• OB Hospitalist Group is the industry’s largest, dedicated OB/GYN hospitalist provider, so our clinicians are trained in best practices specific to OB hospitalist medicine.
• OB hospitalists are part of the hospital care team and place a high value on maintaining communication with other professionals within the hospital including your physician, medical and surgical consultants, discharge planners, social workers, clergy and others.
