Stork team supports patients during high-risk deliveries

Update: 2021-12-06

Description

In the moments after a baby is born in critical condition, seconds matter. The Riley Maternity Tower Stork Team is at the ready to jump into action.

This team includes highly trained neonatologists, nurses, respiratory therapists and advanced practice providers like nurse practitioners and physician assistants. They're present for high-risk deliveries that may require a baby to be resuscitated or other critical care strategies.

NICU nurse Andrea Purdy is part of the team and shares more about their role in these types of deliveries.
