Gratitude for Maternity Care Dr. Dominique Luckey, MD, OB/GYN
Improving maternity care continues to be an important initiative of the Adventist Health White Memorial Charitable Foundation. Dominique Luckey, MD shared her gratitude for gifts made in support of maternity care.
“The Foundation has ensured that our office has both a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a dietician who have cultural and linguistic competence and bring a level of understanding and response to the cultural and linguistic needs of our patients. Adding them to our practice gives our patients access to true interdisciplinary care. Since 85% of the patients in our community are Hispanic, we can improve their care by eliminating culture and language barriers.
We are also grateful for the new training equipment for our OB/GYN medical students and residents. With your help, we have added to our Simulation Lab. Preparation for procedures and hands-on learning allows our teams to practice and improve their skills. Gifts to the Foundation were used to purchase simulation training equipment. The OB/GYN residents are able to practice and improve their skills with two maternal pelvises and infant sims and 3rd and 4th degree perineal laceration repair sims. By improving their skills, they are able to replace outdated equipment with a state-of-the-art childbirth simulation.
These advances truly improve our ability to care for patients and ensure healthy moms and babies head home from Adventist Health White Memorial.”
