Obstetrics and Gynecology at Excela Health

We’re expecting you … at our maternity center located within Westmoreland Hospital.  Here, you’ll find expert care, support and education as we continue the tradition of providing parents-to-be with a warm, caring environment coupled with state-of-the-art technology.

Your Maternity Care

Becoming a parent is a special time. That’s why we’ve created a comfortable, family-friendly environment where you, and your spouse/support person, if desired, can experience the miracle of birth.  Our ten, well appointed labor-delivery-recovery suites (LDRs) offer the comforts of home but are equipped with fetal monitors, break-away bed, and all the necessary equipment for the birth, hidden away until needed.   We also offer:

• Newborn nursery
• Special Care Nursery
• Private, post-partum rooms with pull-out beds for dads
• Operating rooms located on the same floor for Cesarean sections
• Waiting rooms with flat screen television, coffee service, and a sibling’s play area
• Newborn photo service
• Tea Time for Moms, a complementary refreshment cart offered Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, 2 to 3 p.m. for our new moms.
• And, each time a baby is born, a lullaby is played over the hospital public address system to welcome your new addition to our world.

Special Care Nursery

The birth of a baby is a special time, a time when dreams come true.  Sometimes, though, infants may need additional medical attention due to low birth weight, premature birth or other medical reasons.

In our Level II Intensive Care or “Special Care” Nursery, babies receive advanced care and monitoring from a team of specially trained nurses and physicians.  In addition to infants born in our hospital, we also care for those transferred from other facilities.  Pediatricians are available within the hospital 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week for delivery room and nursery emergencies. 

Parents and families are encouraged to spend time with and participate in baby’s care through ‘round the clock visitation.
