Women & Children Services

Since 1952, Forrest General Hospital's Women and Children Services has been delivering superior care. Exceptional quality of care, personal attention, an extensive range of services and highly-skilled physician's and nurses are why families have trusted their health and future to Forrest General for more than half a century. No matter what your age, no matter what your needs, we offer services designed especially for you.

Renovation of the 6,000 square-foot, six-bassinet Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and 15-bassinet Intermediate Care Nursery, as well as the 19,000 square-foot, 12-bed Labor and Delivery Unit, provides updates to existing space. The 25-bed Postpartum Unit, nine-bed Women’s Unit for patients recovering from gynecological surgery and a 35-bed Well-Baby Nursery, totaling 30,000 square feet, has been relocated to the fourth floor of the new Critical Care Tower. In addition, a dedicated entrance to women's services connects from the parking garage to the fourth floor entry.
