Charlie's Story: Let's Start at the Beginning...
Beginnings are a critical part of a story. Will you be intrigued enough to read more? Will you learn something of value?
The story of the beginning of a family—no matter its size or composition—is always one of our favorite things at LMH Health. Our Cindy Murray Family Birthing Center supports the birth of your child with the best clinical care in a way that is safe, comfortable and designed to include family and friends, or to afford you the privacy you prefer.
One family unit—Nicole Olson, Dan Heinz and their six-month-old son Charlie, chose to share the story of the beginning of their family in an LMH Health video production. The video will be used in online advertising and social media and will feature many wonderful moments the family experienced as they started Charlie’s first chapter.
Convenience and connection close to home
While Nicole and Dan had a lot of great things to share about their experience at the Family Birthing Center, we can all take great pride in the delivery experience provided to any parent. There is much to be said for the convenience and connection of birth close to home, and at LMH Health, that comes with many benefits.
