baby and mother were both safe and well cared for, thanks to everyone's quick actions

Anne Bedoe, RN; Cathy Cronquist, RN; Juanita Hughes, RN, BSN; and Brittany Watson, RN, BSN, all of the Birthing Center, received the overall SHC Team Award at DUH.

The team members were leaving work when Juanita noticed a man yelling for help in the front of the hospital. His wife was in labor and very near to delivering the baby in the car. As Juanita delivered and took the baby to the full-term nursery, Anne, Cathy, and Brittany stayed with the mother until the EMS unit could arrive. The baby and mother were both safe and well cared for, thanks to everyone’s quick actions.
