Anne Elizabeth Nelson Women and Newborns Center
In the past several years, there has been an increase in maternal health challenges in Iowa, which include many rural labor and delivery units closing, leaving women with limited options in rural areas for care. Council Bluffs and the surrounding area also face unique challenges associated with the closure of these OB-GYN units. Our communities are diverse, close-knit, and representative of many distinct social and economic groups. As healthcare providers, we must be prepared to serve across the diverse spectrum of our communities.
Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital has responded to the need. In December 2020, the Anne Elizabeth Nelson Women and Newborns Center at Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital, which brought first-rate medical care to women in southwest and western Iowa. Mothers can be served with skill and pride close to home!
We are so grateful to the community that helped make this possible.
