Lucky babies born in the W. Steve Worthy Maternity Center at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton begin life with the very best of the old and the new.
Carrollton’s only maternity center offers the utmost in modern technology within a city steeped in history. Did you know that Carrollton was named in 1826 for Charles Carroll, the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence?
