The arrival of the first baby of the year is always a special moment, but for one family at AdventHealth Hendersonville, it was also a powerful reminder of the importance of having expert obstetric care available at all times. When the patient’s regular doctor was unavailable, OBHG hospitalist Dr. Anita Leis stepped in to ensure a safe and smooth delivery—demonstrating the life-saving impact of 24/7 OB hospitalist coverage.
Dr. Leis’ expertise was especially critical when the baby was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. Thanks to her immediate intervention and the support of the hospital’s dedicated team, both mother and baby remained safe and healthy. The patient expressed immense gratitude for the exceptional care she received, highlighting how the presence of skilled OB hospitalists provides peace of mind to expectant families.
“The hospitalist did amazing,” Amariah Davis, the baby’s mother, told Hendersonville Times-News of her experience. “She was very kind, she did a great job. She delivered my baby safely, and he’s healthy even with the scary moment with the cord around his neck.”
This story underscores the value of an OBHG hospitalist program. With experienced clinicians on-site 24/7, hospitals can ensure timely intervention during emergencies, continuous support for patients, and seamless coordination with community providers. Whether a physician is unavailable, a complication arises, or an unassigned patient arrives in labor, OBHG hospitalists are there to deliver expert care when it matters most.
The Hendersonville Times-News describes the OB hospitalist program at AdventHealth Hendersonville as a “vital part of The Baby Place’s commitment to providing exceptional care for expectant mothers.”
This program ensures that there is always an experienced obstetrician available 24/7 to handle any emergencies or complications that may arise during labor and delivery. In Amariah’s case, her regular doctor was out of town, but thanks to the OB hospitalists program, Dr. Leis was on duty and able to step in to care for Amariah throughout her labor and delivery.
This comprehensive approach to care was critical in managing the situation when James was born with the umbilical cord around his neck and his blood pressure dropping. The expertise and readiness of the OB hospitalist, combined with the support of the skilled nurses, ensured that James arrived safely and that both mother and baby received the best possible care.
