Home Town’ Couple Unveils Prototype Maternity-Ward Makeover at Local Hospital

Erin Napier’s lifelong ties to the facility shaped a prototype-driven redesign meant to inform a wider update.

Overview

  • The March 8 episode of HGTV’s Home Town featured Erin and Ben Napier renovating rooms at South Central Regional Medical Center’s maternity ward in Laurel.
  • The pair redesigned one room in each of the ward’s three departments as prototypes intended to guide a broader renovation.
  • Erin detailed her personal connection to the hospital, noting she was born there, her father worked there for 44 years, and both daughters were delivered there.
  • At the reveal, the hosts thanked the staff, with Erin calling the hospital a “town within your town” and praising workers as “angels.”
  • The episode also revisited their college-era jobs at the hospital and a lighthearted elevator “make out” memory, as viewers reacted warmly on social media.
