But why take that chance?"
"Most mothers will never need all of Winthrop's amazing services.
Tracey had planned to deliver her baby in NY City. But when she suddenly began bleeding and went into labor at home, she and her husband rushed to Winthrop- University Hospital instead. "Winthrop is known as a leading maternity hospital," she said. "Now I know why."
Winthrop's Chief Ob/Gyn Resident recognized that she needed an emergency C-Section. He assembled a highly trained surgical team in minutes. The severe complications they encountered called on all their skill and teamwork. Large fibroids were wrapped around the uterus. The baby was positioned sideways in the womb. And Tracey's placenta had ruptured. She was bleeding profusely.
Miraculously, baby Evan was delivered safely and Tracey avoided a hysterectomy. "There's no doubt," said Tracey, "Winthrop's team saved Evan's life, and mine."
Tracey and Evan's story shows why Winthrop is a renowned NY State-designated Regional Perinatal Center. Why our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit's record is one of the best in the nation. And why it makes such good sense to give birth where all the world-class services you may need are standing by 24/7, just in case. Learn more at winthrop.org. Or call 1-866-WINTHROP.
