The Women's Health Team at 35 Hope Drive responded to a full term OB patient who presented in advanced labor. Within 10 minutes she delivered a healthy baby girl in the clinic exam room. The birth was difficult because the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck (nuchal cord).
Sandy Carl, RN, an experienced OB nurse responded with the emergency delivery tray, calmed the patient and her husband, and alerted theprovider who assisted. Fluids were contained, EMS arrived, and the front desk staff sang happy birthday and the family left the clinic safely.
The team demonstrated respect, integrity, teamwork and excellence in an emergency situation.
Honorees of this DAISY Team Award are:
Sandy Carl, RN
Mary Gehman, RN
Dr. Holly Thomas and
Dr. Ali Mohsin Jaffry
