❤ Staff Spotlight: Sharly, RN – Labor & Delivery ❤

In honor of World Breastfeeding Month, we celebrate Sharly, a dedicated Labor & Delivery Registered Nurse at USC Arcadia Hospital. She supports moms through one of the most important moments of their lives.

Her advice for patients who may feel nervous about birth:
“It is absolutely normal, and expected, to be nervous. As an L&D nurse, I encourage my patients to ask all the questions they can think of. It’s important to me that my patients comprehend every aspect of their care. My job is to provide my patients with all the information necessary to make educated, informed decisions for a memorable and safe birthing experience. To all my patients, this is your birth story and it’s always a privilege for me to be a part of it.”

Thank you, Sharly, for providing compassionate care every day.

This World Breastfeeding Month, USC Arcadia Hospital is proud to celebrate programs that support moms and babies in the community. The free Mommy & Baby Bistro empowers moms on their breastfeeding journeys.

Ines shared her experience:
“I’m so glad I joined Mommy & Baby Bistro. This support group has helped me cut through the overwhelming amount of information online and focus on what my baby truly needs. More importantly, the love and encouragement from Yolanda (Lactation Consultant) as well as other moms who are going through the same journey has made me feel less alone—and a lot less overwhelmed. Being part of this group has also helped me become more confident and independent with my baby, while giving me a reason to get out and enjoy some fresh air. I truly believe it’s essential to understand how breastfeeding works so you can find what’s right for your body, rather than getting lost in all the conflicting advice out there.”
