WEBVTT

00:04.340 --> 00:06.507
on the count of three . We're going to

00:06.507 --> 00:07.951
cut and say nick you okay

00:07.951 --> 00:10.800
123

00:10.810 --> 00:14.730
William . Bowman celebrated its upgrade

00:14.740 --> 00:16.796
from level one to level two neonatal

00:16.796 --> 00:19.073
nursery with a ribbon cutting ceremony .

00:19.073 --> 00:20.962
Family and staff members gathered

00:20.962 --> 00:23.129
together to enjoy some cake and listen

00:23.129 --> 00:25.351
to what the celebration was all about .

00:25.351 --> 00:27.351
What does this nick you mean To our

00:27.351 --> 00:29.407
families ? Well , we are now able to

00:29.407 --> 00:31.573
care for premature and moderately sick

00:31.573 --> 00:35.210
babies weighing only 2000 g who require

00:35.220 --> 00:38.270
intravenous catheters , oxygen therapy

00:38.280 --> 00:40.300
or tube feeding . Hospital

00:40.300 --> 00:42.244
administration worked very hard to

00:42.244 --> 00:44.411
provide state of the art equipment for

00:44.411 --> 00:46.633
Nikki nurses but was also able to bring

00:46.633 --> 00:46.330
to Beaumont , a highly experienced

00:46.330 --> 00:49.050
individual . We are very fortunate to

00:49.050 --> 00:51.990
have recently added dr Antonio Hazare

00:51.990 --> 00:54.600
in to the Beaumont staff as the Nicu

00:54.600 --> 00:57.300
service chief . He is board certified

00:57.310 --> 01:00.510
neonatologist with over 35 years of

01:00.510 --> 01:03.000
experience and leads a dedicated team

01:03.000 --> 01:05.390
of doctors , nurse practitioners and

01:05.390 --> 01:07.780
nurses , all specially trained in

01:07.780 --> 01:10.240
newborn care with modern equipment and

01:10.240 --> 01:12.462
highly skilled neonatal nurses , doctor

01:12.462 --> 01:14.462
history in talks in depth about the

01:14.462 --> 01:16.684
level to nursery . What the general was

01:16.684 --> 01:19.320
saying today was that prior to the

01:19.320 --> 01:21.542
establishment of the neonatal intensive

01:21.542 --> 01:23.709
care unit here at the level two unit .

01:23.709 --> 01:26.510
We used to transfer 170 babies a year .

01:26.940 --> 01:30.540
That caused a lot of heartache and and

01:30.550 --> 01:33.900
emotional distress for soldiers and

01:33.900 --> 01:35.750
mothers and families because we

01:35.750 --> 01:38.360
separated babies and families .

01:39.340 --> 01:42.980
Approximately 97% of those

01:42.980 --> 01:45.960
transfers will not need to occur now

01:46.440 --> 01:49.970
because we're here . So we will save a

01:49.970 --> 01:53.540
lot of that uh distress and heartache

01:53.550 --> 01:56.140
will keep the families together . So

01:56.140 --> 01:58.480
the mother delivers here and the babies

01:58.480 --> 02:01.590
cared for here . This is a system where

02:01.590 --> 02:03.720
the soldiers and families , they're

02:03.720 --> 02:05.920
familiar with , the system , they're

02:05.920 --> 02:07.920
comfortable with , the system , the

02:07.920 --> 02:10.350
military medical system and we will

02:10.350 --> 02:12.406
take care of them and they will feel

02:12.406 --> 02:14.930
comfortable besides providing the best

02:14.930 --> 02:16.874
possible health care for premature

02:16.874 --> 02:19.152
babies . General Doyle supports doctor ,

02:19.152 --> 02:21.150
