Lawrence & Memorial Hospital is a family centered hospital that provides a wide range of services for women and children.
Included is a 24 bed Maternity Unit that is equipped to care for pregnant women through all stages of their pregnancy. Individualized care plans are developed for each pregnant mother with the realization that the birth of a new baby impacts the whole family and its growth and development.
Our Maternity Unit is equipped with cutting edge technology including central surveillance of all live fetal heart rate tracings, state of the art labor/maternity rooms, a Triage area for assessment and Antepartum evaluation, a fully staffed Normal Care Nursery as well as a NICU close to the unit should the need arise.

L&M strives to keep the family unit together with its onsite, NICU and Neonatology Practitioners that are here twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week ready to care for any babies that may need their services. There are two OR suites located on the unit staffed with certified surgical technicians around the clock.
