’s OB/GYN facility, The Women’s Place.
The nurses at The Women’s Place also received praise from Misty. “I’m particularly grateful to my nurse. She was wonderful. She was so helpful during the contractions and delivery,” Misty said. From the moment she first walked into The Women’s Place, Misty was impressed.
Another aspect of The Women’s Place that Misty loves: The father can stay as long as he wants and be involved in every aspect of labor, delivery, and recovery.
Misty says that after Brooke was born, the excellent care continued. “You watch the video that shows you how to bathe, feed, and burp the baby. They teach you infant CPR, breast-feeding, and exercises that get you back in shape.”
Many women such as Misty deliver all their children at The Women’s Place. And now a second generation of families is born there. Our seasoned staff has shared these special times with several generations of women.
