Moments to Remember | Born just 15 months apart, sisters Taylor Mullis and Loren Morgan have celebrated a lot of milestones together over the years – and having their first babies was no exception. They checked into the same labor and delivery room at Memorial Satilla Health just one day apart and both delivered baby boys. Brody Mullis (8.9 pounds) and Holland Morgan (9.1 pounds) were welcomed to the world June 5 and 6. And the similarities don’t stop there! Both sisters ended up having emergency C-sections and both were patients of Dr. Yolanda Borders, OB/GYN with Memorial Satilla Specialists. “Dr. Borders was phenomenal,” Taylor said. Loren agrees. “She is an incredible doctor and an amazing friend. She provided excellent care to us and I’m so thankful for her,” Loren said. Even though their birth stories didn’t go quite as planned, both sisters are grateful for their outcomes – beautiful, healthy baby boys – and enjoying every minute of this new family transition. “I received excellent care, and the staff was so supportive. Everyone was amazing,” Taylor said. “I cannot say enough good things about the labor and delivery team. They took amazing care of us – even through my long labor and C-section,” Loren adds. “They talked me through every step. They went over and beyond for us.” Baby Holland needed specialized care at Memorial Health in Savannah, and Loren says the quality care they received at home only continued in Savannah. “That team was incredible as well,” she says. Memorial Satilla and Memorial Health are part of HCA Healthcare.

Simplifying Insurance for Financial Pros | Your Go-To for Expert Protection Solutions | Helping Advisers, Accountants, and Bookkeepers Shine
Such a heartfelt story! 💔 The posts circulating today are a reminder of life's unpredictability and the need to prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. In these uncertain times, insurers like Guardian Financial Services , LV= and Zurich Insurance step in not to prevent life's twists but to offer a helping hand when they occur. These types of providers help make financial challenges a bit more bearable. This support enables parents to be fully present for their children without the added worry about financial strains. As we raise awareness about prematurity, let's also acknowledge the human side of financial planning. It's about creating a safety net that allows families to rally around each other, offering support, care, and love when it's needed most. #WorldPrematurityDay #FinancialSupport #Guardian #Zurich #FamilyLove #LV= Vincent O'Connor Aj Sahota Tom Dibble Mel Clarke Emily King Steve Brown CeMAP
🎗️On this World Prematurity Day, my heart swells with gratitude for our remarkable journey. On December 18, 2009, my son, a tiny warrior born at 30 weeks due to a broken placenta, embarked on a path of resilience and strength. The NICU became our second home for three months, a testament to the remarkable care provided by the NHS. 👩⚕️ The healthcare professionals at the NHS were our heroes, navigating the complexities of prematurity with expertise, compassion, and unwavering dedication. Their commitment is immeasurable, and my family will be forever grateful for the tireless efforts that contributed to our son's health and well-being. 💑 Standing by my side throughout this emotional rollercoaster was my partner, a pillar of strength and unwavering support. Together, we faced the financial challenges that often accompany such journeys—extended hospital stays, being out of work, and the added strain of hospital parking and meals. 💸 While the NHS delivered exceptional medical care, it couldn't alleviate the financial strain we encountered. This journey taught us the importance of comprehensive support systems for families navigating the intricate tapestry of prematurity. 🤝 Let's use this day to recognize the importance of supporting families not only through medical care but also by addressing the financial hurdles that can arise during these critical times. By sharing our stories, we raise awareness and advocate for the holistic well-being of families facing prematurity. 💙 To the NHS, thank you for your exceptional care. To my partner and all the families facing similar challenges, your strength is immeasurable, and your journey is valid. #WorldPrematurityDay #NICUStrong #NHSGratitude #FinancialChallenges #PrematureJourney #FamilyStrength

This is what powerful community activation looks like. Communities care about hospital closures. Where you live should not determine your access to quality maternity care. Access to maternity care is not a privilege for the few it should be guaranteed for all. Check out March of Dimes Report: https://lnkd.in/e76cBrCS

Discussing end of life is one of the most difficult conversations to have. Many (I might even say most) of us don’t want to think about dying, let along talk about it. But it is also one of the most important conversations to have. These two resources are designed to make the process a little more approachable. I’m adding resources to my website to facilitate challenging conversations, and there are more resources there for navigating this one. Link in comments

The Gift of Choice: Discussing End-of-Life Care with the Five Wishes and the The Death Deck! National Healthcare Decisions Day is TODAY, and what better way to celebrate than by giving yourself (and your loved ones) the gift of informed choice? This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of co-facilitating a discussion alongside hospice chaplain Melissa Moore, M.Div. at St James United Church of Christ in Limerick. Together, we guided a thoughtful conversation centered around the Five Wishes document, a powerful tool that allows individuals to express their preferences for medical care, treatment options, and spiritual support at the end of life. The Five Wishes document covers a wide range of topics, from the kind of medical treatment you desire, who you want to make decisions on your behalf if you can't speak for yourself to how you wanted to be treated. By having these wishes documented, you can ensure your voice is heard and your loved ones are empowered to make choices that align with your values. The Death Deck is a game and conversation starter about all things related to feelings and thoughts about death and dying! It's a wonderful tool to help have these important conversations! Open Dialogue, Empowered Choices! The discussion was both informative and inspiring. It was a space for open dialogue, where participants felt comfortable asking questions and sharing their thoughts on a sometimes-difficult topic. National Healthcare Decisions Day serves as a powerful reminder that talking about end-of-life care is not something to shy away from. It's an essential part of ensuring your wishes are respected, and it can provide peace of mind for both you and your loved ones. As a death doula, I'm passionate about facilitating these conversations and helping individuals navigate the often-complex world of end-of-life planning. Are you interested in learning more about the Five Wishes document or discussing your end-of-life care wishes? Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. Together, we can make sure our voices are heard and our wishes are known. #NationalHealthcareDecisionsDay #FiveWishes #EndofLifeCare #EOLC #DeathDoula #PlanningMatters #PeaceofMind #CompassionateCare #AdvanceCarePlanning #compassionatecrossings

We're so proud to be working with families, healthcare professionals, and the media on children’s palliative care. Our programme improves how the public understands and supports this incredible care. 💙 Children’s palliative care (#CPC) is all-encompassing, lifelong care that enables seriously unwell children and their families to make the most of every day together, just like any other family. 📄 Learn more in ‘Short Lives Can’t Wait: the State of Children’s Palliative Care in 2024’, the new report launched by our friends at Together for Short Lives: https://lnkd.in/eHZiciAP 💡 The report underlines the vital difference great CPC services make to the lives of children and their families, and the importance of families being able to receive the care they need, when and where they need it. ❗The report’s findings reveal that, unfortunately, this is not always the case and highlights the key issues currently affecting children and families' access to CPC across the UK. 💬 As Stevi, bereaved mum of Holly, shared in the report: “I feel passionate that other families should have the care we had. We didn’t need to fight for it thankfully [...] nobody should have to fight for the care they deserve.” 🗣 We know misconceptions about CPC have a real-life impact on how these services are supported by our society and funded by our institutions. That’s why we do the work we do in this area. If you’d like to find out more about our CPC programme, please do get in touch here: https://lnkd.in/e9PKEtdr

#12 Are New Mothers Ready to Go Home? Thirty years ago, these problems I now see posted on social media were less frequent. Why? We kept moms and babies in the hospital for three or more days, until we knew they were ready to go home. On morning rounds, we listened to our new moms and the nurses. Usually, we discussed whether a particular mom, baby, and husband or partner were ready to manage once you were home. Was your breastmilk in, could your baby latch on, was your baby gaining weight, were there any signs of jaundice, and of course, did mom and hus- band or significant other (SO) know what to expect when you got home? Had you and your husband or SO divided household chores at home? Who would be responsible for what? Today, with stays for vaginal deliveries shortened to twenty-four hours or less, sometimes your doctor has no way of knowing whether moms, babies, and dads or SOs are ready to go home. https://lnkd.in/gMHgfg5Q #ruraldocalan
