When Jayme Beneker found out she was expecting her first bundle of joy, she knew what she wanted in the hospital where she would deliver. Not only did she want a hospital with a strong clinical reputation, but she wanted to feel like more than just a number. Fortunately, at Margaret Mary, she found both.

“Every interaction I had with the maternity staff, both before and after delivery, was positive and professional,” said Jayme. “Whether I was taking a prenatal class, receiving a massage or getting help installing my car seat, I felt like the nurses and staff genuinely got to know me. Some of the same nurses who taught my prenatal class were even at my delivery. I felt like I was in good hands.”

Just as important as choosing an incredible hospital is choosing a physician you can trust. Having used Dr. Michelle Shorten for her primary care needs, Jayme was thrilled to find out she also delivered babies.

“Being a first-time mom, I was a little nervous throughout my pregnancy, but Dr. Shorten was awesome about setting my mind at ease. Now that Lane is here, my husband, Allen, and I appreciate that we can see her for our whole family’s healthcare needs.”
