Why Families Choose WMMC

Why do more women choose to have their babies at WMMC than anywhere else in the region? The answer lies in our commitment to a personalized and pampering experience. Our highly trained, compassionate team and spa-like environment put the comfort of mom, baby, and family first.

Welcoming Marshall-Area Families

WMMC is proud to partner with Missouri Valley Regional Medical Center (MVRMC) to support families in the Marshall area through pregnancy, delivery and recovery. Patients can continue prenatal care in Marshall with Dr. James Kerns through approximately 34 weeks of pregnancy, then transition to WMMC in Warrensburg for the remainder of their pregnancy and delivery. After birth, families can return to Marshall for postpartum and pediatric care.

Our experienced Birth Center team provides personalized, family-centered support to help make your birth experience as comfortable and seamless as possible.
