One L&D in Lawton is crazy. You still have options. Really nice birth centers in Duncan, Fruitful Oaks Midwifery & Wichita Falls Birth Center. Homebirth is also an option. And really OKC is just a little over an hour.
We want to share an important update with our community regarding Women’s Services.
With CCMH and SWMC coming together as Memorial Health System of Southwest Oklahoma, we are working hard to strengthen care for families across our region. As part of this effort—and in response to the ongoing nursing shortage affecting hospitals nationwide—we’ve made a thoughtful, patient-focused decision to consolidate our Labor & Delivery services into one enhanced, centralized location.
The Southwest Campus has been significantly impacted by the nursing shortage, and bringing both teams together at the main campus allows us to ensure the highest level of safety, staffing, and support for moms and babies. This consolidation is not a closure—it’s a way to preserve, protect, and strengthen L&D services for the long term in our community. We are grateful for the maternal and fetal care delivered by Southwestern throughout the years.
You will continue to see the same trusted faces caring for you, now united as one more robust and fully supported Women’s Services team at the Memorial Health main campus.
Beginning today:
✨ For any obstetric emergency needs, please visit our main ER at 3401 W Gore Blvd.
✨ For prenatal tours, childbirth classes, or breastfeeding support, please visit our website www.memorialhealthswok.com or call/text 580-250-5253.
Thank you for trusting us with your care. Our commitment to the families of Southwest Oklahoma remains strong, and we look forward to continuing to support your healthcare needs at Memorial Health.
