Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ephraim McDowell Health is taking steps to further protect the health and safety of families who deliver babies at Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center.  In consultation with physicians, it has been decided that the support person who accompanies a laboring woman to the hospital will have to remain inside the Labor & Delivery Unit until the mother and baby are discharged. Meals will be provided to the support person during their stay.
