Atleast 3 OB's in house, and 2 CNM's in house. A third OB in house if his group has a pt. and a parinatalogist on call but not in house unless needed.

Dedicated anesthesia in house, and back up emergency anesthesia in the main OR and back up OB anesthesia at home who gets called in if things start to get out of controll.

Just over 500 deliveries/year and climbing

OBs in building during "business" hours - on call rest of the time

Same for Anesthesia

Usually both can get there in 5-10 minutes, but winter is coming and we have already had a snow storm that delayed surgical crew for a crash section on a weekend. Good outcome though - that's all that matters in the end.
