In Greenville, two sisters, Jessica and Jordyn, gave birth at Prisma Health Patewood Hospital on the same day. Only 13 months apart themselves, the sisters gave birth to baby girls who are only 17 minutes apart. Both were delivered by the same doctor. These cousins will no doubt be as close as sisters themselves, sharing their birthday and a bond sure to last for life.

National Sickle Cell Awareness Month is observed every September. Sickle cell disease is estimated to affect about 100,000 people within the United States of America, with nearly 90% of those affected being African American.

Despite the need for ongoing care for the condition, people living with sickle cell disease often struggle to access treatment.

At Prisma Health, we stand with our sickle cell patients and their loved ones. We are dedicated to providing treatment for chronic and acute pain and lessening the risks of complications like stroke or kidney disease. We are here for children and adults with sickle cell and their families at birth and beyond.

Together, we can raise awareness, support ongoing and expanded research and help those living with sickle cell disease look ahead to the future with hope. You can find resources on this topic at our Flourish website: https://bit.ly/4m9ExSv

Welcome Greta Von Hofe, Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital’s New Year’s baby! Weighing in at 6 pounds 6 ounces, 18¼ inches long at 4:05 a.m., her arrival had long been anticipated by parents Ali and Lee Von Hofe.

The Von Hofes practiced waiting as they struggled to conceive after adoption, a natural birth, and then an early miscarriage. With help from Dr. Joanna Von Hofe, Prisma Health Reproductive Endocrinology, Ali got pregnant early in 2021. She said, “We felt like God had given us this gift of another baby to grow our family.”

Ali had planned to deliver in a hospital with the midwife group, whom she trusted after the birth of her son 2.5 years earlier with a healthy delivery at 39 weeks. They had the birth plan. They had the hospital bags packed. The kids were with grandparents celebrating New Year’s Eve. They were all set just waiting on the baby girl and friends and family prayed for a quick and speedy arrival. But little did they know just how God would answer that prayer.

Just after the fireworks died down on New Year’s Eve, in the wee hours of the night at 2 a.m., contractions started slowly. Ali tried to sleep through them but got up about an hour later. They suddenly intensified and she called her midwife Miranda around 3:40 a.m., who gave her the green light to meet at the hospital. Ali woke up Lee, who got the bags in the car and started it up. When he came back inside, the mood intensified, and Ali knew something had shifted. A wave of pressure at 3:57 a.m. prompted an urgent call back to midwife Miranda and then EMS. This baby wasn’t waiting! With expert over-the-phone instruction, a big push delivered the baby into Lee’s hands at 4:05 a.m. EMS arrived a few minutes later to supervise and oversee the safety of mom and baby.

Thanks to a capable support team, they are doing well. Ali added, “All our waiting led up to this. Now, we can just celebrate the healthy arrival of baby Greta. We’re nicknaming her ‘little firecracker’ because she knew how to get the 2022 New Year started with a bang!”

Congratulations to the Von Hofe family and their medical team!
