Special alert
With the opening of the new University Hospital, we have updated the name of some of our locations. Learn more about our updated building names.
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is the only Level IV Maternity Center in central Ohio. This means we’re equipped to care for the most complex conditions in pregnancy and manage urgent situations that may occur during labor, delivery and postpartum. While our reputation for caring for high-risk pregnancies is unrivaled, we’re equally proud of our expertise in supporting routine births. With three floors dedicated to labor, delivery, postpartum and infant care, we offer spacious, world-class accommodations and the finest maternity amenities in central Ohio.
In addition to our designation as a Level IV Maternity Center, we’re also home to a Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
