Although Bedford Regional Medical Center is discontinuing its Obstetric Unit, Dr. David Murphy, Obstetrician and Gynecologist, will continue his practice located at BRMC. Dr. Murphy will continue to see obstetric and gynecology patients; and, is accepting new patients. All gynecologic and surgical needs will continue to be provided at Bedford Regional Medical Center. BRMC also has clinical relations with other medical facilities within the region. Dr. Murphy will support the needs and wishes of each patient, and will continue to admit patients for delivery at BRMC until April 10. Thereafter, he will admit obstetric patients at other hospitals.

Although BRMC is discontinuing this service, if there is a future community need or changing demand relative to obstetrics, we may re-evaluate our operational decision. We will be discussing options related to OB services in our new hospital facility planning.
