On Tuesday, St. Tammany Health System’s flagship St. Tammany Parish Hospital christened its new Obstetric Emergency Department (OBED), a purpose-built space designed specifically for expectant mothers experiencing the unexpected in their pregnancy journey.
Located in the Labor and Delivery unit of the hospital’s New Family Center, the new OBED features six fully private triage rooms, where trained maternal experts can examine patients and determine the next step in their care.
All of the rooms are built with new moms’ serenity and safety in mind, and all are outfitted with advanced fetal monitoring equipment. Additionally, the new OBED, which replaces a smaller, semi-private triage space inside the hospital, is staffed around the clock by a team of highly trained obstetric hospitalists and maternity nurses.
