In February 2020, McDonough District Hospital announced the much-anticipated opening of the Dolores Kator Switzer Women’s Center Obstetrics Department. Construction began in June 2018 with a groundbreaking ceremony, then the following October the OB area moved from the first floor to the east wing of the second floor. More than 4,800 square feet of new building space plus more than 7,200 square feet of renovated space comprise the obstetrics and digital imaging areas.

“Our staff was thrilled to move into our new obstetrics department. Several of our OB nurses coordinated with public relations to film a “walking tour” of the new area, highlighting the state-of-the-art features that we are so pleased to have available to our patients and families, as well as some special touches to help make the patient experience outstanding. We owe a great deal of appreciation to our community in helping make the Dolores Kator Switzer Women’s Center a reality,” said Wanda Foster, RN, MSN, FACHE, former Vice President/Chief Nursing Officer. “These suites don’t look like hospital rooms, they look more like a suite at a hotel or spa.”
