Where families are born.

OB Services


Tamika Williams, RN
Director of OB

If you were born in Bay County or had a baby here in the last 35 years, most likely you were cared by a Gulf Coast Medical Center nurse.  For generations, we’ve had the pleasure to be invited to participate in one of life’s most momentous occasions – the birth of a baby.

Most of the staff who’ll care for you and your baby at Gulf Coast Medical Center are parents themselves.  We know what it’s like to experience the anticipation, joy and relief of labor and delivery.  We also know how valuable it is to be home to the region’s only Level ll Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.


If you have questions about our OB services, please call us at (850) 747-7700.
