Obstetrics Emergency Department

24/7 Coverage for you and your baby

As part of our overall commitment to women’s health and care for expecting mothers, Odessa Regional Medical Center now offers an OB/GYN hospitalist program to provide consistent care to patients in our hospital, as well as emergent care to those arriving in Labor and Delivery. Our OB/GYN hospitalist program brings an experienced team of board-certified obstetricians and gynecologists on-site to ORMC 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

In the event that your physician is not available, OB/GYN hospitalists can provide an exam, evaluate the progress of your labor, review test results and fetal heart rate activity.
