The Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation awarded $250,000 to be allocated toward the purchase of a new, state-of-the-art, infant anti-abduction system. Chairman of the Foundation Board John Halleron, III, stated, “Although there had been no problem or breach of security, the Foundation Board unanimously felt the importance of remaining ever vigilant in continuing to provide the best technological advancements for the safety of Good Samaritan’s newborns.” This system gives parents and staff great comfort knowing that babies are safe at Good Samaritan.
A concern about infant abductions, mother/baby mix-ups, and wandering patients has been of heightened awareness and concern throughout the country. The Foundation’s contribution enables Good Samaritan Hospital to continue a tradition of providing high-quality health care for the community.
Good Samaritan is privileged to care for more than 3,000 maternity patients each year. With necessary human and technological resources to provide expert care to women experiencing high-risk pregnancies, the Medical Center’s maternity program, BirthPlace, is increasingly becoming the hospital of choice for the region’s maternity patients. Women whose pregnancies are high-risk are reassured by round-the-clock presence of neonatologists to care for ill or premature newborns on a moment’s notice.
The Maternal/Fetal Medicine Program provides monitoring and supportive care for women, whose pregnancies are complicated by premature labor, underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, or due to a multiple birth. High-risk pregnancy specialists work in tandem with neonatologists to ensure the health of both mother and baby.
