Obstetrics

Labor & Delivery 
McAlester Regional's OB department strives to provide a comfortable environment that accommodates a relaxed, family-centered birthing experience. The department is supported by the latest technology and experienced staff. The delivery rooms feature relaxation therapies including: sound, aromatherapy and water therapy. Also available in each room are TVs, gliders and birthing balls upon request.

Nursery 
Our nurses offer tender care and support for you and your newborn baby. Our philosophy is that your baby will be the safest and most content at your side. For that reason we do not separate mothers and babies if at all possible. However, if your infant requires more intensive care, our state of the art Level II Special Care Nursery can tend to your infant’s needs. The nursing staff is well trained and experienced in the care of newborns with special needs. If your infant needs even more intensive care, transportation to a Level III Neonatal ICU hospital in Tulsa or Oklahoma City is also available.
