This nurse provided care with such poise and compassion in a moment of panic.
Mary "Christy" Hogan’s calm and caring direction and support allowed a family to safely welcome their son to safety during a rather unexpected delivery. While in labor, the dad was driving his wife to the hospital and realized that they were not going to make it before delivery. The dad called the hospital and was coached through a smooth ‘roadside delivery’ by this nurse. While assisting the delivery over the phone, she was able to get 911 dispatched to help. EMS arrived and transported the mom and the baby to the hospital for evaluation and stabilization. The dad states, “This nurse provided care with such poise and compassion in a moment of panic.” With the help of Christy, this dad was able to remain calm and deliver his son. Thank you, Christy, for the calming, compassionate coaching you gave to this family during this roadside delivery.
