Forrest General Hospital Family Birthplace
Obstetric and Gynecologic Services in South Mississippi
Forrest General Hospital Family Birthplace provides obstetric and gynecologic care to residents of Hattiesburg and surrounding communities. The facility operates as a hospital-based birthing center, integrating labor and delivery services with comprehensive women’s health offerings. This integrated model allows patients to access both acute obstetric care and routine gynecologic services within a single clinical environment, reducing the need for referrals to distant facilities.
Maternal-Infant Care and Provider Continuity
The Family Birthplace emphasizes continuity between prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum support. Patients develop ongoing relationships with their care providers throughout pregnancy and birth, enabling providers to understand individual health histories and preferences. The setting supports this continuity by maintaining clinical coordination between outpatient gynecology and the inpatient birthing unit, with many providers maintaining presence across both settings.
The practice operates within Forrest General Hospital’s broader healthcare system, providing access to maternal-fetal medicine consultation, neonatal intensive care, and ancillary diagnostic services when needed. Located in Hattiesburg, the facility serves a regional population and accepts most major insurance plans. Patients seeking obstetric or gynecologic care can contact the hospital directly for scheduling and insurance verification.
