Andalusia Health and the Center for Women’s Health offer a number of services related to your pre- and post-pregnancy care.
Andalusia Health has been designated as a "Baby-Friendly" hospital after a rigorous review process conducted by Baby-Friendly USA. This distinguished honor demonstrates that Andalusia Health is adhering to the highest standards of care for breastfeeding mothers and their babies. These standards are built on the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding.
Answer a few questions to determine your level of risk for certain preventable health conditions.
Bringing a new life into the universe is an unequaled, almost divine experience ‒ one you will cherish all your life.
The Birthing Center at Andalusia Health is here to make sure your experience is memorable and special, for all the right reasons. Our mission is to care for you and your growing family, whether you choose natural labor with pain management (plus skilled coaching, movement, and relaxation techniques), prefer the option of epidural anesthesia, or want to schedule an induction of labor or a c-section through your healthcare provider.
The Center offers five labor, delivery, recovery, and postpartum (LDRP) suites that keep you and your baby in the same room, supporting your autonomy and the sanctity of your birthing experience.
Each room comes with a rocker for mom, a couch sleeper and flat-screen TV for dad, and a baby cot for your new little one. We “room-in” ‒ meaning your baby stays with you ‒ to support early bonding and reduce stress for you and your baby.
Andalusia Health welcomes hundreds of babies into the world every year. As Covington County's primary provider of obstetrics and gynecology services, we provide an environment that is warm, comforting, and especially welcoming to new family members. We pride ourselves on offering the support, education, and empowerment to help women meet their own health goals throughout pregnancy and help them achieve the birth they envision.
This care is provided in a safe, “best of both worlds” environment ‒ a birthing center located within a hospital setting. Our very low incidences of primary c-sections and practically non-existent maternal morbidities are a testament to our high-quality care. Andalusia Health has even been recognized by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama for outstanding quality in maternity care.
