Labor & Delivery

Cabell Huntington Hospital is proud of its reputation as "the baby hospital," and about 2,600 babies are born here each year. Our Labor, Delivery & Recovery Unit is located in the North Patient Tower, with 18 rooms that are designed with the mother's care and comfort in mind. The rooms are large, with a flat screen TV, floor-to-ceiling windows and fixtures that are more like a hotel than a hospital. Each room has a fold-out bed for family members and a European style bath accented with blue glass tile.

In case of emergency, there are cesarean section delivery rooms and two infant stabilization rooms to care for babies who are premature or experiencing medical problems. A special, dedicated elevator that runs only between the Labor, Delivery & Recovery Unit and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) allows NICU staff members quick access to the unit so that they can care for, stabilize and quickly transport babies who need extra care up to the NICU.
