We would like to announce that starting November 2, 2025, Greenville Women's Care and Greenville OB/GYN will begin sharing calls. This means that the two practices will rotate providers and midwives to cover calls and deliveries for both practices. This will not impact scheduled C-Sections or who you see in the office for your OB or GYN care. The only change will be who will respond to after-hour calls and who delivers your baby. This change will allow our providers to be more available in the office to see patients.
