About The Family Birthing Wing

For those beginning new families or expanding existing ones, WRRMC Family Birthing Wing is here to make your birth experience extraordinary.  Highly qualified physicians and nursing staff are skilled in providing care for routine and higher-risk pregnancies for mothers each year.  All patients stay in a beautifully decorated and comfortable private room.
