Kelly arrived at AdventHealth Ocala on one of their busiest days, 38 weeks pregnant and anxious to meet her baby girl, Kylie. Even with record patient numbers, the nurses made her feel cared for and comfortable. One nurse, Melanie, went above and beyond. She checked on Kelly every 30 to 40 minutes, guided her through the epidural, played music to help her relax and made sure her privacy was respected. After delivery, when Kelly developed borderline preeclampsia, Melanie stayed by her side, prayed with her, monitored her vitals and even brought oatmeal from her own locker when Kelly couldn't eat.
Because of that care, Kylie is healthy and thriving. Help ensure every patient receives that same compassion. Make a gift today to the AdventHealth Foundation West Florida to help give patients like Kelly the crucial care they need.
