One year ago, Gwen entered the world at just 24 weeks. She spent eight weeks in B.K. Bryan Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Prisma Health Children’s Hospital, surrounded by the love of her family and the care of our incredible team.
Yesterday, on what would have been Gwen's first birthday, her family traveled from Virginia to honor her in a beautiful way. They brought treats to thank our NICU staff, delivered a birthday basket for the first baby admitted to the NICU that day, and donated more than 70 care bags for families with babies born before 30 weeks.
Through unimaginable loss, Gwen's family has chosen to create hope for others. Their kindness will comfort families navigating one of the most difficult journeys imaginable and ensure Gwen's legacy lives on through every act of compassion.
Thank you to Gwen's family for reminding us that love knows no bounds and that even the smallest lives leave an immeasurable impact. 💜
