Hav­ing the right OB-GYN can make all the dif­fer­ence in your preg­nan­cy jour­ney. When Ash­ley went into labor two weeks ear­ly, her doctor’s guid­ance, sup­port, and exper­tise helped her feel con­fi­dent in every deci­sion.

For Nurse Prac­ti­tion­er Saman­tha P., her jour­ney in health­care has come full cir­cle.

Michael S., 52, has always bal­anced his career as a com­put­er spe­cial­ist with fam­i­ly and adven­ture.

Sherry’s sto­ry began with an unex­pect­ed nudge — a pain on her left side while exer­cis­ing that just didn’t sit right. ​“I hadn’t had a mam­mo­gram in three years.

At just 43 years old and on a trip with friends to New Orleans, Bill began suf­fer­ing from debil­i­tat­ing back pain and what he thought was heart­burn.
