Thank You to our Team Members on this Labor Day

Heather Drevna

For many, Labor Day is a day off, a time for one last summer cookout or trip to the pool or the beach, or a day to relax and spend quality time with family and friends before fall settles in. But for those who have devoted their careers to caring for patients, it can instead be another busy day at the hospital or clinic.

Every day, Pediatrix® and Obstetrix-affiliated clinicians and hearing screen technicians in 36 states:

  • Treat more than 500 hospitalized pediatric patients
  • Attend more than 300 births
  • Conduct more than 2,200 newborn hearing screens
  • Treat nearly 1,900 high-risk pregnant patients
  • Care for more than 5,400 babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)

Day in and day out, our team is in the hospital for the middle-of-the-night delivery, at the bedside in the NICU, the ED and pediatric intensive care unit and standing by at all hours when specialty care is needed and speed can make all the difference.

This Labor Day, we honor and celebrate our devoted team members, both the clinicians and those who support them, who sacrifice weekends and holidays with their loved ones and work long nights to ensure that highly specialized and compassionate care is there when and where patients need it. 

Thank you for all you do.
