Women’s Health Center staff who helped care for the babies and Graham.
Ask any healthcare provider who delivers babies and they
will tell you that babies are born on their own schedule, around the clock,
weekends, whenever the moment is right for them. They aren’t concerned that
it’s January and that the weather is making for hazardous travel conditions.
Such was the story for Lauren and Andrew Graham a couple of
months ago.
Because they were expecting twins, the Grahams had planned
to deliver at a hospital with a neonatal unit. GRMC does not typically deliver
twins due to higher risks for the babies and often a need for neonatal
intensive care. However, the babies were ready to come and the weather was not
conducive for safe travel, especially for parents ready to deliver twins.
Lauren Graham, MD, and Andrew Graham, PhD, stayed in
Grinnell and had their twins delivered by the GRMC medical team of Monica
Brito, MD; Alex Anderson, CRNA; Laura Ferguson, MD; Ryan Dahlby Albright, MD;
and the obstetrical staff of Kintzinger Women’s Health Center. Dr. Brito has experience delivering many sets
of twins. Family care physicians Dahlby Albright and Ferguson, who both have
delivered many babies at GRMC, provided care for the twins as they arrived.
This team successfully welcomed Noah James and Benjamin Daniel Graham.
We have used this motto and mantra for years: GRMC is here
for you when you need us. And that is true in difficult times and joyful times
and all the moments of life in between.
