A year later, things are going great. “She’s doing really good. She’s making strides and catching up. She’s been staring at her big sister since she came home!” Aniesha laughed. She has no doubt Adoria will continue to thrive. “I tell everyone that when I was a baby, I ran before I walked. That’s the thing with premature babies – they do things on their own time!” Of course, that’s not the only thing Aniesha would like I am so thankful for my experience. They always gave me a lot of information about what was happening and what might happen, and they have a lot of love to give!

This required not only painting corridors and nursing stations, but also new lighting, electrical, furniture, and ceilings. During pregnancy and childbirth, all expectant mothers in our community deserve the best medical care to protect their health and their baby. They also deserve a health care environment that makes them feel at home so they can enjoy this memorable time in their life. Thanks to your generous support of the Foundation, Regional One Health now provides both. Because of you, the Foundation granted $500,000 to renovate and modernize the labor & delivery areas. The renovation began in the spring of 2022 and is expected to be complete by June 2023. Labor & Delivery / High-Risk Obstetrics Program/NICU $500,000 FOR A RENOVATION OF THE L&D AREAS 11
