The newly named Women and Newborn Services area combines the labor and delivery rooms, the recovery rooms and the nursery in one area of the hospital instead of being spread out in various sections of the facility. The areas have been alternately called Labor and Delivery, Maternal Child (MATCH), and now will have a new identity.
Two RNs (registered nurses) gave this author and photographer a tour of the new area in the Gila Regional Medical Center.
The first impression was of light, happiness and an uplifting area to have one's baby, first or fifth.

[Author's Note: Calls to the Grant County Clerk's Office and the Assessor's Office only confused this writer. I corrected my first draft! Be aware of what the questions say. Do not rely on what others have told you. Think for yourself, and READ the language, even though it contorts the brain.]
This author's calls to the Clerk's Office and the Assessor's Office hopefully can help you a bit.
