Ob Hospitalist Group

Our partnership with Ob Hospitalist Group (OBHG), the largest dedicated OBGYN hospitalist provider, further allows our team to bring the absolute highest standard of care to our patients. This program provides hospital based, OBGYN physicians (hospitalists) on-site at Marietta Memorial Hospital all day, every day.

These highly skilled, board-certified OBGYNs will provide consistent care to patients in the hospital, as well as emergent care to those arriving in our labor and delivery unit. The first of its kind program in our region, our obstetricians and patients love that somebody is in-house when they are needed.

Program Advantages

OBGYN Physician Availability

An OB Emergency Department (OB-ED) is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and is continuously staffed by board certified OBGYN physicians (hospitalists).
In the event your physician is not available, our hospitalists can conduct examinations, evaluate the progress of your labor, review test results, and view fetal heart rate tracings. They will address any evolving or high-risk concerns.
Due to their primary focus of hospital-based treatment, hospitalists are experts at providing emergent care on-site if an emergency occurs.

Highly Skilled Providers

If your physician is unavailable or delayed in reaching the hospital, you can rest assured that our experienced hospitalists can provide medical expertise and optimal patient care.
Our OB hospitalists are highly skilled in a variety of different delivery techniques.
In addition to being board certified, the OB hospitalists are required to maintain high levels of clinical performance and professional standards.

Communication Across Providers

Our OB hospitalists place a high value on maintaining communication with other professionals within the hospital. Communication on patient status and a plan of care are developed with the OB hospitalist and the primary provider anytime a patient presents to our OB-ED or labor and delivery unit.
Our OB hospitalists can expedite care for you and can easily facilitate connections with providers.
Being hospital-based, the OB hospitalists will always be on-site to visit you, to monitor progress, or to discuss the questions and concerns of you or your family.
