Highlands Medical Center

Highlands Maternity Center is equipped with state-of-the-art monitoring equipment for mom and baby, so the entire birthing experience from labor and delivery to recovery can take place in one room. In addition to a home-like atmosphere, Highlands Maternity Center offers an amenity only available at a small handful of hospitals across the country one-on-one nursing care. Whereas nurses at larger facilities must split time between three or four women in labor, every nurse at Highlands Maternity Center has the luxury of caring for only one woman throughout the birthing experience. “Women who turn to us for the birth of their children are thrilled with their experiences,” says Angie Sherrod, director of Highlands Maternity Center. Proud parents Jeff and Shawn Hill chose Highlands Maternity Center to deliver their twins, Wilson and Evan. “Making sure our babies were healthy was our number one priority,” says Shawn. “Never did we dream we would be treated so wonderfully throughout the pregnancy and delivery.” When asked why expectant mothers should choose Highlands Maternity Center, Dr. Vargas, with Scottsboro OB/GYN, shared her thoughts. “If you want one-on-one care from someone who knows your name and is concerned about you, this is the place to come.”
