The arrival of a new baby is a life-changing experience for the whole family. Central Baptist's obstetrics care focuses on the family unit during this special time.

We understand what new families want and need, because we've been sharing in the miracle of birth for generations. Many of our staff members were born at Central Baptist Hospital.

From the latest in equipment to the tender touch of caring nurses, we are committed to meeting the needs of women in central, south and eastern Kentucky.
