Medical City Healthcare | Take Care | Fall 2019

“My water broke in the car!” Suzanne said. “Our first baby took forever, so we didn’t rush. I knew labor was progressing, but I didn’t know how fast. My hus- band, Brandon, texted Brandi, my labor and delivery nurse, that we were coming, and when we pulled up, they were waiting.” Change of (birth) plans Suzanne had originally planned to deliver at another Arlington hospital—the same hospital where her 2-year-old daughter, Kate, was born. But her trusted obstetri- cian chose to move his services to Medical City Arlington. Suzanne was quickly convinced it was the place for her growing family. “I was nervous because I didn’t know much about Medical City Arlington and the new Women’s Hospital,” Suzanne said. “Then we met Brandi, who became our concierge, host, knowledge bank, you name it. She gave us a tour and showed us all the amenities that the hospital offered. The facilities are second to none!” And Suzanne got to experi- ence the amenities sooner than planned when she went into labor before her due date. “With my last-minute delivery, my doctor didn’t make it,” Suzanne said. “The OB on call delivered Wade. I had never met him, but he was Johnny-on-the-spot. I asked for medication and he said, ‘All I need is two pushes and you’ll have a baby.’ He was right!” An extra level of specialized care Brandi and the nursing staff also left a lasting impression on Suzanne. “There are separate nurses for mom and baby, and they pro- vided an extra level of specialized care we hadn’t had before,” she said. “We got to have skin-to-skin contact with Wade that we didn’t get to have with Kate. It was a dream come true to have that sweet moment.” AS CHIEF OF STAFF TO HER FATHER, city of Arlington Mayor Jeff Williams, Suzanne Taylor is accustomed to planning down to the minute. With the birth of her second child—son Wade, born in April—she made it to Medical City Arlington’s new Women’s Hospital with just moments to spare. ESPECIALLY FOR MOMS-TO-BE.

It allowed for plenty of visitors and privacy and bonding time for me and Wade. The staff was wonder- ful, and the food and service were excellent. We had such a great experience at Medical City Arling- ton. What an asset to the city of Arlington!” 7 MedicalCityHealthcare.com
