With a team of specially trained OB nurses, highly-qualified, board-certified physicians and the latest in labor, delivery and recovery care, parents can experience a safe, personal and comfortable environment for one of life’s most precious milestones.

At RMC, families have more choices, more natural delivery options and more support throughout their birthing experience. As the first designated Baby-Friendly® hospital in Alabama, our collaborative team of doctors and nurses stands ready to help you realize your birthing plan – from the admissions process to childbirth classes, labor and delivery, postpartum and lactation support.
