The Labor & Delivery Unit at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center is the only American referral center for high-risk obstetric patients serving eligible beneficiaries throughout Europe, Western Asia and Africa, with an active Storknest program for expectant mothers in remote locations.

We understand that birth is a personal, life-changing event and our team is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care and making this a memorable experience for you and your family. Our Nurses, Midwives, Obstetricians and Medical Technicians are here to support you throughout your birth experience.

Our private Labor, Delivery and Recovery (LDR) rooms have rocking chairs, birthing balls, recliners, showers and state-of-the-art medical equipment. We are also equipped with OB Operating Rooms within the unit.

Our Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) provides high-risk obstetrical care and consultations. We offer diagnostic ultrasound, genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis, management of high-risk pregnancy, multiple births and expectant mothers with diabetes and prematurity prevention.

Best of all, your baby remains with you for your entire hospital stay.

Getting off to the right start in life is important. For people like LeVar Burton, that included being born at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, where quality care includes a team of dedicated staff members, patient-centered health care, lactation support, and maximizing the patient experience through family bonding. We can't guarantee your baby will boldly go in the same career path as Mr. Burton...but we can promise the best possible care to get them started in the right direction.
