PAGE 6 B THE BANKS COUNTY NEWS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2008 Social News BJC Medical Center OB department renovations complete The makeover in the obstetrics and labor and delivery department at BJC Medical Center is immedi ately apparent from the redecorated waiting room to the bright walls of the OB Unit, the vibrant blue-sky scenes on the ceilings, redecorated nursery, and the improved nursing station. One of the most noticeable chang es is the improvement of the labor and delivery suite. “We have recently refurnished our labor and delivery suite,” said Selina Baskins, director of OB. “Our enhancements include OB TraceVue, Stryker delivery bed, infant bed with radiant warmer and abundant seat ing for several family members.” OB TraceVue, an $83,000 upgrade to the previous system, offers patient surveillance, alerting, docu mentation and archiving designed to ensure comprehensive obstetri cal care coverage. OB TraceVue is accessible wherever patient infor mation is needed - from the patient bedside and delivery room, nursing station, or even from the home or office of the physician. The easy access to well-organized information improves efficiency, which allows the staff to focus more attention on the patient, and in turn achieves the best quality care, leaders state. “Not only are we proud of our facilities, we take pride in our excel lent nursing staff and the personal one-on-one care that has becomes less of a focus at larger facilities,” Baskins said. “We believe the one- size-fits-all philosophy does not always allow for the individual wishes that a patient may have. Our goal is to provide individualized medical and emotional care while treating every patient and their fami lies as a unique member of our own family.” New parents receive a “celebra tion” steak dinner after delivery, as well as a multitude of various gift items for mother and child. These gifts, which may include a new mother bag, a hand made quilt, a knitted hat, a baby gift bag, baby door bows, coloring books and a layette set, are donated by local churches, schools, and other orga nizations. Physicians offering OB services at BJCMC are: Dr. David Sauls, 641 Hospital Road, Suite 4, Commerce; Dr. Beth Sullivan, 641 Hospital Road, Suite 3, Commerce and Dr. Robert Marshburn, 45 Medical Center Court, Commerce. birth announcement Kylie Marie Misenheimer Jessica Hawkins and Wesley Misenheimer of Commerce announce the birth of a daugh ter, Kylie Marie Misenheimer, on Thursday, June 5, 2008, at Stephens County Hospital.
