Life at 26 weeks

Posted on May 1, 2013 by Alegent Creighton Health

Monica Ann Cooper is a sweet little baby with her whole life ahead of her. “I already can see her 20 years down the road; I think I know what she’s going to be like,” said Sara Cooper, Monica’s mother. At six months old, Monica’s parents can barely take their eyes off her. All babies are special but considering the start little Monica had, someone was definitely looking out for her. “We had a lot of prayers for her. I know that’s why she is where she’s at,” said Sara. … Continue reading →

Excellent care can be hard find, but the staff at Alegent Women’s Healthcare in Papillion provided great care for me during my recent pregnancy. I had a difficult/high-risk pregnancy and was at the clinic often several times within a week.  Everyone I encountered at the clinic from the receptionists to my nurses (Elaine, Kim, Jamie, Thelma),  as well as the P.A. Erika and Dr. Guy Schropp, provided me with great care and made a stressful pregnancy so much easier. It was comforting to know that I had a group of … Continue reading →

I wanted to let you know about the experience I had at Midlands on the maternity floor.  We had decided to deliver our third child at Midlands after two deliveries at a different hospital.  Because our son was past his due date, we planned on being induced on May 16th.  We checked in the night of the 15th and the nurse, Megan, handled everything the moment we stepped on the floor.  She walked us through the plan and made us feel very comfortable with her knowledge and confidence in the hospital … Continue reading →

This Only Happens in the Movies…

Posted on May 13, 2011 by Alegent Creighton Health

I remember searching for ‘the perfect doctor’ when I first found out my husband and I were expecting. I had heard so many good things about Alegent that I decided to start there. I didn’t end up looking any further. I loved that I could see a photo of the doctors and they had introduction videos about them. I watched Dr. Erin Evans’ video and immediately felt a connection.
