Emory Decatur Hospital
Maternity Center:
Obstetrics & Maternity Care

Emory Decatur Hospital’s state-of-the-art women’s services and facilities cater to obstetrics patients. The Maternity Center at our North Decatur Road campus welcomes nearly 3,000 newborns a year, placing ours among the top five maternity programs in Georgia. From high-risk pregnancies and multiple births to our neonatal intensive care unit, we have the technology and specialized services to meet each woman’s individual need.

The Women’s Center offers a comprehensive array of obstetrics, gynecological and maternity services, with an emphasis on family-centered maternity care. We understand the childbirth experience is a partnership between the mother, her family, doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. Our teams of highly specialized and dedicated professionals work together to ensure that each birth is a positive experience for mother and baby. We welcome complementary therapies such as aromatherapy or acupressure and extra support people like a birthing coach or a doula. The “Baby-Friendly” designation is given after a rigorous on-site survey is completed. The award is maintained by continuing to practice the Ten Steps as demonstrated by quality processes.
