Obstetrics and Gynecology Services
At Auburn Community Hospital, we strive to provide compassionate and comprehensive women’s health care by delivering specialized programs with individualized care. Our Obstetrics Program includes all aspects of maternity care, including pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum care. Our Gynecological Program focuses on the unique needs of women beyond obstetrics. Both programs are administered in collaboration with a woman’s primary care provider.
Our Team
Members of our OB/GYN team include physicians and certified midwives supported by nurses with specialized training and all of the other resources of our hospital. We provide a comprehensive level of care for any patient need. For the increased safety of our patients and their newborns, many of our nurses are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP) and other maternal/infant certifications.
