We’re fortunate at Pella Regional Health Center to have a thriving maternal health care practice. Last year alone, our nine-person family practice group delivered 600 babies. That’s an extraordinarily high number for a community our size, and we’re proud to offer this level of service. Unfortunately, part of why we’re seeing so many expectant mothers is because financial pressure has forced other rural hospitals to close down their maternity wards (which are very expensive to maintain).
