Magee Turns 100
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011The Post-Gazette reported on our local birth hosptial, Magee which turns 100 this year. Magee has been trying to get up to 10,000 births in one year, like it has done in the past. Just think how may babies were born there over the past century!
The photo is an early human milk-bank for mothers who weren’t breastfeeding, but whose babies needed breastmilk. I wish we still had a milk bank at Magee, but it is a relic of the past. The good news is, Magee did win the award this year for most doula friendly hospital in the area.
