Our Locum Providers

Working together to give you the best care

Since Nash Ob-Gyn will have fewer obstetric physicians starting June 1, 2025 we’re excited to partner with the UNC Nash Hospital pregnancy care team to ensure a provider is always available for the Women’s Center. Starting Friday, June 6th, hospital obstetric (OB) doctors will care for patients from Friday morning to Monday morning.

Who is a hospital OB doctor?
UNC Nash hospital OB doctors take care of pregnant patients in the hospital. Their job is to be available at UNC Nash Women’s Center to help with labor, delivery, and pregnancy emergencies. They are licensed and credentialed just like we are, which means they’ve had the proper training and approval to care for you and your baby.

What does a hospital OB doctor do?
They provide the same care we do!

• Checking on patients

• Helping with labor and delivery

• Handling pregnancy emergencies

• Supporting your birth experience

How does a hospital OB doctor work with Nash Ob-Gyn?

• If a provider from Nash Ob-Gyn is on call, they will take care of you.

• If a Nash Ob-Gyn provider is not on call, a hospital OB doctor will take care of you.

Will the hospital OB doctor know my medical history?
Yes! They have access to your records and birth plan and can consult with your Nash Ob-Gyn provider if needed.

What about postpartum care?

• While you’re in the hospital, a hospital OB doctor may check on you if your Nash Ob-Gyn provider isn’t available.

• After discharge, all postpartum care will be at Nash Ob-Gyn.

Will I have to pay an additional fee if the hospital OB doctor delivers my baby?

• If you paid Nash Ob-Gyn (escrow account), your payment covers prenatal care, delivery, and postpartum visits—no extra charge for delivery by a hospital OB doctor.

• The hospital bills you separately for your stay.
