Perinatal Navigator Services

With a newborn on the way, finding the right prenatal care, services and education is important. Centra Virginia Baptist Hospital employs a perinatal navigator to work closely with expectant moms for guidance and support. Our focus is ensuring a safe and healthy pregnancy for mother and baby and helping families receive the best care. The perinatal navigator is a nurse who serves as an advocate for expectant moms and works closely with physicians in the region.
