High Street Tower officially opens at The Medical Center
A new five-story High Street Tower is now open on the campus of The Medical Center at Bowling Green, bringing maternity and newborn care into a single building. The hospital says the facility sits at High Street and 4th Avenue and is designed to enhance Labor & Delivery, NICU, and related services, according to Med Center Health.
If you’re heading in for delivery or maternity care, the hospital directs patients to report to High Street Tower rather than previous locations, per Med Center Health. The change is in effect now for anyone with labor symptoms or scheduled procedures.
The Details
- Where: High Street Tower at The Medical Center at Bowling Green, corner of High Street and 4th Avenue (campus location per Med Center Health)
- When: Now open; patients with labor symptoms and those with scheduled maternity procedures should go directly to High Street Tower (per Med Center Health)
- Who it serves: Families seeking Labor & Delivery, the Obstetrics Emergency Department, and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (per Med Center Health)
If you had instructions to report elsewhere on the Med Center campus, check with your provider to confirm your new arrival point. Bring a photo ID and insurance card as usual, and allow a little extra time on your first visit to learn the updated route and entry.
Why it matters for local families
Consolidating maternity services under one roof means less back-and-forth on a stressful day and quicker handoffs among teams that need to work closely. Med Center Health frames the tower as a dedicated space that streamlines care from the Obstetrics Emergency Department to delivery to the NICU when needed, according to the hospital’s announcement on Med Center Health.
For growing families across Warren County—from downtown neighborhoods to campus-area apartments—having everything in one place at the main hospital campus can simplify parking, arrival, and visiting. The opening also lands as Med Center Health highlights a 100-year legacy of care and signals plans for future growth, per Med Center Health.
What people are saying
Hospital materials emphasize that High Street Tower was built to bring Labor & Delivery, the Obstetrics Emergency Department, and the NICU into a single, purpose-designed space, according to Med Center Health. We’re seeking interviews with Med Center leaders and care teams about how the move changes day-to-day operations and patient experience.

How to get there and what to expect
- Arrival: Follow campus signage for High Street Tower at High Street and 4th Avenue. If you’re in active labor or experiencing urgent symptoms, head directly to the tower as directed by Med Center Health or call your provider.
- Parking and entry: Check ahead for the current patient drop-off points, parking locations, and any construction detours on the hospital campus. Visitor access and hours can change; confirm with your care team before you go.
- Staying connected: If you’re scheduled for induction, C-section, or a prenatal procedure, call your provider’s office the business day before to confirm arrival time, entrance, and check-in location.
