Business Review
Although it has been many years, I birthed both of my sons at LewisGale Medical Center. The nurses were top notch at making sure we were taken care of. When my first born stopped breathing suddenly, as we were getting ready to leave for home, the nurse didn't hesitate to scoop him up and get him the care he needed, and to have someone also support me through one of the scariest moments of my life. I love that LewisGale now offers midwifery care, hydrotherapy, and most importantly, a Level II NICU for moms in Roanoke, Salem, and Southwest Virginia to have the best delivery and postpartum experience.
