COLUMBIA – Delivering babies since the first of the year, MUSC Health Columbia Medical Center’s new labor and delivery unit located just off I-77 at Farrow Road represents a significant enhancement in access to maternity care for families in the Blythewood area and Fairfield County.
The new Labor and Delivery unit features four specialized labor and delivery rooms, eight postpartum recovery rooms, and a fully equipped newborn nursery.
