In 2018, The University of Maryland Medical Center opened a new 19,980 square foot state-of-the-art Obstetric Care Unit/Labor and Delivery unit (OBCU) on the sixth floor of the North Hospital Tower. The OBCU has 12 LDR suites, three operating room suites, a 4-bed intermediate care unit, a 5-bed pre-op/recovery unit, and a 5-bed triage/evaluation unit. The obstetrical anesthesia service maintains offices in OBCU and is on-site 24 hours a day.

Adjacent to the OBCU is our Mother-Baby Unit (MBU), with a total of 22 antepartum and postpartum beds, as well as the term nursery. A new state-of-the-art 52-bed neonatal intensive care unit is located below the OBCU on the fourth floor.
