OBHG welcomes Baptist Health Paducah in Paducah, KY with OB hospitalist coverage, targeting a full obstetric emergency department (OBED) in September 2024.
Hospital leadership partnered with OBHG to support the community OBs and nurses, enhance the safety culture on the unit, increase hospital birthing volume, improve patient access and help cover gaps in OB coverage. OBHG will implement an OBED as part of the program.
