Helping Soon-to-Be-Mothers in Baxter County
Services for expectant mothers at Baxter Regional are guided by state-of-the-art
technology and the gentle touch of a staff that has brought many little
bundles of joy into the world. Just last year, our skilled nurses and
staff helped with the successful deliveries of over 700 babies. Our medical
professionals have extensive experience helping expecting mothers with
their day to day problems, and their more acute issues. We have been delivering
infants and treating mothers since we were founded over 54 years ago.
When you are about to bring a new life into this world, you want an experienced,
knowledgeable, and compassionate medical expert right alongside you. We
