In January, the Birth Center at TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center marked its grand opening with a ribbon cutting and ceremony celebrating the newly constructed birth center. The $18.5 million project encompasses a 22,000-square-foot women’s center, complete with Sumner County’s only Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and a lactation boutique for inpatient and outpatient breastfeeding services. Additionally, the new center features state-of-the-art technology and hotel-like amenities.

The Birth Center, which officially opened Jan. 12, is a subset of TriStar Hendersonville’s $33 million renovation and expansion project including ER, cafeteria and medical/surgical floor renovations.
