Board-certified OB-GYNs will provide the highest quality care and safest birthing experience possible.

As part of Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center’s (EMRMC) dedication to best serve the needs of mothers and babies in the community and provide higher acuity services, board-certified Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB-GYN) physicians will continue to provide the highest quality care and the safest birthing experience possible to our mothers and babies.

Ongoing and uninterrupted OB-GYN coverage delivers on EMRMC’s promise to protect access and ensures that there will be no disruption in OB care and services.

“Committed and dedicated OB-GYNs will safeguard the comfort and safety of our patients and newborns ensuring there is no disruption to maternal care services at EMRMC,” said Daniel McKay, President and CEO of Ephraim McDowell Health. “We are aware of the misleading statement issued by Cumberland Family Medical Center, Inc, and we want to reassure our community that access to obstetrics care will be seamless and unobstructed.”

OB-GYNs currently employed by Cumberland Family Medical Center, Inc., will continue to provide seamless care and obstetrics coverage through March 15. Ephraim McDowell Health will announce a long-term specialized provider solution for maternal health services within the next few weeks.

The on-site specialist physician coverage will also serve to provide a seamless transition for expectant mothers that had planned to deliver at Fort Logan Hospital’s OB unit.
