ER WAIT
iWhether it is for the first time or the third time - –the birth of a child is an important event for a family and Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital is here for you. Our team is trained to provide you with compassionate and expert care.
We can care for a great many concerns that can arise after the birth of your child, please know that our nursery is considered a Level IIB Nursery. If your baby’s doctor feels it necessary, we have the capability to transfer your child to a more advanced Level III center.
One important step we ask all new parents to take before the birth of their child is to pre-register at our hospital. Babies often arrive when THEY choose, so if you have pre-registered, it will make the process much easier for you.
About a week before your scheduled due date, please come to the admissions department on the first floor of the hospital to complete the registration process. Make sure you have all insurance cards with you at the time you pre-register. You may visit this page for more information about our registration process.
If you have pre-registered, when you arrive at the hospital to have your baby, simply take Elevator 5 by the Emergency Room up to the labor and delivery department on the second floor.
Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital has introduced innovative wireless patch technology, revolutionizing patient comfort and care.
The Novii+ wireless patch system is an intrapartum Maternal/Fetal Monitor that non-invasively measures and displays fetal heart rate, maternal heart rate, and uterine activity.
Novii+ technology empowers laboring and delivering patients with added mobility while ensuring continuous and accurate fetal monitoring. This innovative system utilizes Bluetooth wireless technology, allowing patients to move freely during labor while remaining under constant monitoring. The Novii+ Patch & Pod is one key feature of the technology. It is designed to be waterproof and withstand showering or bathing, enhancing patient comfort and enabling them to maintain routine activities without interruption.
