Job description

About Our Labor and Delivery Unit at McDowell Hospital

The Labor and Delivery Unit at McDowell Hospital provides comprehensive, family-centered maternity services to the families of McDowell County and the surrounding Western North Carolina region. As an intimate, specialized birthing center, our unit is designed to provide safe, high-quality care for mothers and newborns throughout the entire journey of childbirth—including prenatal stabilization, labor, delivery, postpartum recovery, and newborn care. Our modern unit features private, fully equipped Labor, Delivery, Recovery, and Postpartum (LDRP) suites designed for patient comfort, safety, and clinical efficiency. Supported 24/7 by skilled OB/GYN physicians, certified pediatric providers, and specialized labor and delivery nurses, our unit handles both scheduled deliveries and unexpected obstetrical emergencies. Our clinical team works with highly coordinated, gentle precision to create an individualized birth experience that prioritizes patient preference, evidence-based safety standards, and a smooth, celebratory transition into family life.

What Sets Us Apart

The Labor and Delivery Unit at McDowell Hospital combines the advanced clinical safety standards of the Mission Health network with the deeply personal, warm environment of a community hospital. What truly sets us apart is our family-centered LDRP model, which allows families to stay in the exact same comfortable, private room for their entire stay rather than being shuffled between different units. Because our unit maintains a peaceful, closely-knit setting, our nurses and providers have the time to deliver truly individualized, one-on-one care, education, and breastfeeding support. You will work alongside a passionate, welcoming team where open communication, shared trust, and the celebration of new life create a uniquely uplifting and supportive workplace.

Why Join McDowell Hospital?

Joining our maternity team means becoming part of a supportive clinical environment that celebrates milestones and values professional excellence. You’ll enjoy:

• An exceptional, low-stress team-based culture where physicians and nurses collaborate seamlessly with a shared focus on maternal and infant safety
• The professional reward of providing one-on-one patient care, allowing you to build meaningful bonds with families during one of the most important moments of their lives
• Opportunities for professional growth, advanced certifications (such as Electronic Fetal Monitoring or Neonatal Resuscitation), and career progression within Mission Health and HCA Healthcare
• A clinical pace that honors holistic, patient-centered care over fast-paced assembly-line room turnover
• A beautiful location in Marion, North Carolina— a charming, growing community known as the "Where Main Street Meets the Mountains," offering a fantastic cost of living and easy access to outdoor recreation
