Nursing Supervisor (Von Voigtlander Women's Birth Center)

Summary

The Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital is a dynamic 50 inpatient bed hospital, home to obstetric services in the Children's and Women's building. The hospital consists of three functional nursing units on one floor ? Labor & Delivery, which includes the high-risk antepartum area, the OR, PACU, and OB Triage; Postpartum; and OB Core, a resource pool within VVWH. With four OB procedure/operating rooms, six PACU beds, and an eight bed OB triage area, VVWH performs 5,000 deliveries per year. While many of these deliveries are routine and uncomplicated, we are uniquely qualified to handle cases that are complicated by maternal or fetal high-risk conditions. VVWH is a Level III+ Perinatal Center ? which means we have specialists available around the clock to care for both maternal and neonatal emergencies and high-risk patients ? as well as caring for those with low-risk pregnancies wishing for a "low intervention" labor and delivery process.

We are staffed by a diverse group of professionals, including Certified Nurse Midwives, Obstetricians, Family Practice Physicians, Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialists, Professional Registered Nurses, Surgical Technologists, Patient Care Technicians and Clerical staff. We are honored to assist families from Michigan ? as well as from across the country ? in their care during this important time in their lives.
