The obstetrical nursing staff at the New Beginnings Birthing Center has the experience and dedication required to care for the tiny miracles that arrive each day. With more than 450 combined years of experience, the center’s 26 registered nurses (RN’s), two licensed practical nurses (LPN’s) and four operating room technicians & support staff provide compassionate care for mothers and babies.

Every obstetrical nurse is certified in neonatal resuscitation. Additionally, several are certified in advanced obstetrical services, including neonatal nursing, labor and delivery and breastfeeding.

Our obstetrical nurses have both the medical and practical experience needed to care for expectant mothers. The staff’s longevity demonstrates their commitment and dedication to the medical center and the community. The obstetrical unit has a very low staff turnover which contributes to high ranking on patient satisfaction surveys. Many of our obstetrical nurses have been nominated by patients for the Shining Star Award-a program that recognizes Wilkes Regional Medical Center employees who go above and beyond the call of duty to care for their patients.

Our attractively furnished, private labor/delivery/recovery rooms provide safe, comfortable and efficient environment for new moms. And because siblings and grandparents are also welcome, the arrival of your little one can be an experience te whole family can share. Traditional labor/delivery rooms, a cesarean-section room and newborn nursery complete this department.
