U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in hospital rankings and consumer advice, has named BJC HealthCare’s Parkland Health Center a 2024 High Performing hospital for Maternity Care with uncomplicated pregnancies. This is the highest award a hospital can earn in this category.

Parkland Health Center's Obstetrical Services department has been recognized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as a designated "birthing-friendly" hospital.

To further enhance Parkland Health Center’s commitment to lactation, the hospital’s mother-baby nurses recently completed the Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) training to become CLCs. The hospital has nine CLCs on staff, who are dedicated to the promotion, protection, and support of breastfeeding. 

As a wife, mom, and the principal at Farmington High School, Jamie LaMonds, 47, juggles a number of roles, responsibilities, and activities on any given day. It’s the standard operating procedure for many women – tending to others often means your own health and needs can get overlooked.

Parkland Health Center is excited to announce plans for its new Women's Center. Construction teams started work on the $2.3 million project, which is expected to be completed in January 2025. Construction will occur in six phases to help maintain diagnostic imaging and their current operations.
