Obstetrics and Gynecology Center

Obstetrics

As Southeastern New England’s center for excellence in obstetrics, Women & Infants Hospital offers a comprehensive range of maternity services designed to provide comfort, privacy and complete family-centered care for expectant parents. Obstetric services are provided through your own obstetrician or midwife or at our Obstetrics and Gynecology Care Center.

The Obstetrics and Gynecology Care Center (OGCC) provides a full array of obstetric care for pregnant women, including tests to check the health of the unborn baby, nutrition, and social services. Our staff includes board certified physicians, residents, nurse practitioners, nutritionists, registered nurses and social workers who work as a team to provide you with the best possible care. Many are fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and French, and we can arrange for other interpreter services, including sign language, if you are more comfortable speaking in your native language.
