It is never easy to leave your baby when it is time to return to work. However, Hillcrest Medical Center NICU RN Lauren Wyzard had one less obstacle when she returned after having her second child nearly a year ago. “To have a place where you can come and relax and know that you are doing everything you can for your baby, pumping milk, is really nice,” she says of 24/7 access to a fully equipped pumping room at work. “It’s peace of mind.”
At 39 weeks pregnant, Kelli Baker was ready to meet her baby boy. Baker had been on bed rest to prevent pre-term labor since the second week of October. “She worked hard to get this baby to this point,” says Utica Park Clinic OBGyn Dr. William Harris.
