Labor and delivery services to end at Memorial Hospital Biloxi
BILOXI, Miss. (WXXV)-Memorial Hospital Biloxi will no longer offer labor and delivery services beginning next month.
Starting September 1, Memorial Hospital Biloxi will consolidate their obstetric services, including labor and delivery, mother/baby, and nursery from Memorial Hospital. Those services will move to Memorial Hospital Gulfport., which houses the only NICU on the Gulf Coast.
Gynecological services will still be provided at Memorial Hospital Biloxi.
Memorial Health System released the following statement: “At Memorial, our mission is to provide the highest quality care and the best possible experience for every patient we serve. After thoughtful consideration, we will consolidate our Obstetrics services, including Labor & Delivery, Mother/Baby, and Nursery from Memorial Hospital Biloxi to Memorial Hospital Gulfport, effective September 1, 2025. This transition will allow all expectant mothers to benefit from the region’s most advanced maternity care in one location. Gulfport is home to our Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit – the only NICU on the Mississippi Gulf Coast – along with a 24/7 Laborist program, dedicated Obstetrics Emergency Department, Breastfeeding Center, and a wide range of education and support services for families.”
“This change reflects our commitment to growing and strengthening services for our community. By uniting maternity services in Gulfport, we can offer families a seamless, well-supported birth experience backed by the full expertise of our Memorial team. Gynecological surgical services will continue at Memorial Hospital Biloxi, and all current Biloxi Obstetrics team members will be offered positions throughout Memorial Health System, including opportunities to remain in Biloxi. We are grateful for the dedication of our Biloxi team and look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional care for mothers, babies, and families across the Coast.”
