There’s a lot to consider while choosing your birthing center. Most hospitals don’t tend to treat birth like a natural occurrence. The process can be rushed and clinical, and the entire experience can be a little disorienting. The right center will take their time throughout your appointments, make sure your voice is heard, and listen to you regarding your birth plan. This is one of the many things that sets the MUSC Birthing Center apart. The center offers collaborative care and makes sure you have options when it comes to your delivery.

The health system throughout the university has 14 different hospitals with over 25,000 team members. What’s more, the system offers compassionate care for a wide variety of specialties. Recently, they’ve focused on improving women’s health care. On top of their hospital locations, the practice rolled out a new Women’s Pavilion in 2020.
