Information Related to COVID-19 Restrictions

• Laboring women (regardless of age) are allowed to have one person with them and a doula registered with Cone Health for the Labor and Delivery phase of their stay. Visit our online form to learn about the measures we have in place to elevate the doula role beyond visitor status.
• Mother-Baby and OB Specialty Care: In addition to the designated support person, a second visitor is allowed but must remain the same person throughout the patient’s stay.
• All visitors must submit to a screening survey regarding their health.
• All OB care providers and nurses at Women's & Children's Center at Moses Cone Hospital will work with individual patients to support their goals related to the birthing experience.
