In 2024, Southern Tennessee Regional Health System-Lawrenceburg (STRHS) has experienced significant growth and progress, reflecting its commitment to enhancing community health. The hospital’s leadership has wholeheartedly adopted this vision, which has been pivotal in its recent advancements. A key development in this initiative was the addition of two licensed nurse midwives, Ashley Taylor and Chelsie Caperton, to the Women’s Health Clinic team. Their involvement has been instrumental in revitalizing the Women’s Center, contributing to its remarkable expansion.
The impact of this growth is evident in the delivery statistics. In 2024, STRHS-Lawrenceburg reported a total of 355 deliveries, marking a substantial 37% increase from the 259 deliveries recorded in the previous year. However, this growth transcends mere figures; the Women’s Center has established itself as a reliable and supportive environment for mothers in the community, offering personalized birthing experiences and compassionate care.
Moreover, the facility has maintained a primary C-section rate of 21.2%, significantly lower than the average for the state of Tennessee. This achievement underscores the commitment of the medical staff to assist mothers in safely achieving their preferred delivery methods, reinforcing the hospital’s reputation as a trusted healthcare provider in the region.
