What can parents expect during a hospital tour at Williamson Medical Center?
Here at Williamson Medical Center, when you come and tour our facility you will walk through the brand new labor and delivery and postpartum unit with a first-hand look at the new rooms we have available to our community. Tours are led by our staff nurses, so you’ll be able to ask any questions you might have at any point during your tour.
Can you give us a list of questions to ask at your hospital tour?
There can be a lengthy list of questions that come to mind for a new parent, and no question will be left unanswered. To get you started, here’s a list of questions you can think of to ask:
- What should I bring with me for my hospital stay?
- What are the visiting hours?
- What security precautions do you provide for newborns and families?
- How long should we expect to stay at the hospital?
- Do you offer lactation services?



What are some major differences between the area hospitals?
While the list could go on and on, we’ve selected three highlights that set us apart from other hospitals in our area:
• Each patient at Williamson Medical Center has a story, and that story is not the same as the person coming to us before or after them. We’re proud to customize and tailor our care for each patient based on plans they’ve established with their team of doctors.
• Here at Williamson Medical Center, our space is newly renovated as part of our brand new multi-million dollar expansion and renovation project that has taken place over the course of the last two years. The vast majority of the project is complete, and we’re excited to see how excited families are to be using the beautiful new space.
• In addition to our expansion, we’re proud to offer a hydrotherapy tub for laboring patients. This can help in reducing pain by increasing the body’s natural pain relievers while also easing muscle tension that occurs with labor. The water also gives relief from pain and pressure associated with gravity, allowing the body to become weightless in the water. All of this helps to allow the mother to relax between contractions.
