Common Questions about OBGYN
Will there be a pediatrician or newborn specialist on hand during births in case the baby needs assistance?
Babies will be cared for by nurses specially trained in newborn resuscitation. We will also have a pediatrician (Dr. Adjetey) available and in attendance when needed.
What will happen if a baby needs to go to a NICU unexpectedly?
Our staff are trained to stabilize babies and transfer to a higher level of care when babies’ condition necessitates.
What services will be available here and how long would it take to get that baby to a NICU?
We will have air and ground transport available (weather dependent) which will determine how long it will take to transport baby.
Can I have a tour of your OB Unit?
Yes! Call Sherri Erickson, Interim OB Manager, to set up a tour of the OB Unit: 701-444-8696.
Do you have a jacuzzi tub for those seeking relaxation during labor?
Absolutely!
Do patients in the OB unit have access to remote monitoring?
Yes-the baby’s well-being can be monitored while mom is up and moving.
