GMC Receives New NICU Ambulance

In celebration of the Women's Pavillion at 's 20th anniversary, the hospital dedicated a new, state-of-the-art NICU ambulance. The new vehicle will be used to transport pregnant women and newborn babies requiring critical care. 

Since opening its doors in 1991, the Women's Pavillion has helped deliver over 97,000 babies. "As we celebrate, hospital leadership is looking ahead at how we can continually transform our women's services to meet the needs of today," said GMC's chief nursing officer Carol Danielson.

According to Leslie Leigh, MD, there were nearly 90 patients transported by ambulance to other facilities in 2010. "This figure also includes babies who are taken from here to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Eggleston and Scottish Rite for cardiac and surgical issues, and returned back to GMC to discharged home," added Leigh in a release.
