Laborists are practicing OB/GYNs who work a set schedule that gives our
pregnant patients 24/7 medical coverage. Laborists ensure our expectant
mothers get the highest level of care during this important time. They
deliver babies around the clock and tend to medical emergencies in every
trimester.
Laborist Programs are recognized by the American College of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists for increasing patient safety.
Laborist Program FAQ
Will my OB/GYN deliver my baby or will a laborist?
Your obstetrician will make the effort to attend your labor and delivery,
but unfortunately, deliveries often cannot be planned. If you begin going
into labor and your doctor is unavailable, you can rely on our team of
board-certified OB/GYNs to perform the delivery. You should go to your
own trusted OB/GYN for your postnatal care and coordination of services
such as pediatrics and lactation counseling.
Can a laborist handle a high-risk delivery?
Yes. Laborists are board-certified OB/GYNs. They are on the hospital premises
24/7 and have extensive training in high-risk deliveries such as C-sections,
VBAC, and delivering multiples.
