My labor was hard and long. Christine walked in and from that moment on, I knew I was in good hands. Not only was the care she provided during labor and delivery exceptional, she went above and beyond when my son was rushed to the NICU. She advocated for me to get to hold my baby for a few minutes before they took him, moments I will never forget. She then made sure my room assignment was moved to the same floor as the NICU so I could be close to him. Finally, when I wasn't able to get off the stretcher yet because of the meds, she wheeled the stretcher in the NICU so I could see that my baby was okay. Her compassion and desire to ease my fear and worry have made a lasting impact on my life. I will never forget how she helped me.
