MOULTRIE, Ga. – The Vibwife platform allows mothers to move more freely and choose different positions during labor, which can help make delivery easier and more natural. It also helps hospital staff safely and efficiently support moms throughout the delivery process.
“Our goal has always been to provide families with the very best care, and we are proud to be the first in the state to offer this technology,” said Colquitt Regional President and CEO Jim Matney. “The Vibwife gives mothers more comfort and options while also helping our caregivers do their jobs safely and effectively. It’s a big step forward for birthing care in our region and our state.”
The state-of-the-art bed encourages upright and active birthing positions, which can improve comfort, blood flow, and overall well-being for mothers. For nurses and physicians, it helps reduce physical strain and enhances safety.
Colquitt Regional Medical Director of Obstetrical Services and OB/GYN Daniel York, DO, MS, FACOOG, said the new technology will make a meaningful difference for both patients and providers.
“The Vibwife platform is a tremendous benefit for both the mothers we serve and our care team,” said York. “It allows for greater comfort, mobility, and a more personalized birth experience, while also helping our team provide safe and efficient care. I’m grateful to our administration for continuing to invest in the best technology available for our patients.”
Over the past several years, Colquitt Regional has seen significant growth in its Maternal Infant Unit and OB/GYN services.
