Quote: "I had the privilege of delivering all three of my baby girls at
EJGH and the care was exemplary each and every time. I have made friends
and in some cases second family members with the staff at EJ. They were
so gentle with us when Anne Grace died. It became clear that their work
isn't just a job but a calling."

Treatment: EJGH Parents
Quote: "This was our first child and we couldn't have had a better experience.
All three nurses were so helpful and informative. It is clear how much
they love their jobs and delivering babies! EJ is lucky to have these
great nurses working in Labor & Delivery."
