Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Georgia B. Williams Nursing Home in Camilla, Georgia was the only facility where African-American women could deliver babies in Mitchell County, for many years prior to the Civil Rights Movement. It was owned by Beatrice ("Miss Bea") Borders (1892–1971), a midwife who delivered over 6,000 babies at the home between 1941 and 1971.[1][2]

The building is a bungalow residence at 176 Dyer St.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[3]

The Georgia B. Williams Nursing Home operated until Borders' death in 1971.[1]

In 2021, the National Trust for Historic Preservation's African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund issued a grant for the purpose of rehabilitating the home and creating a Southern African-American Midwife Museum and center.[4]
