Ball Memorial Hospital opens newly renovated unit for antepartum and postpartum care

This is an exciting week at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital as the labor & delivery team and the mother/baby team moved into their newly renovated unit that combines both specialties. "Both teams were on this floor before, but they were separated so we didn't have the same nurses stations, the doctors were in one area or the other so our patients had to move a substantial amount to get to their new room," said Nickella Reid, a mother/baby nurse.

Now the two nurses stations are together and the floor is one, continuous unit with expanded room sizes and more modern amenities for moms, babies and families.
