Family First Campaign for Mothers, Babies and Families

Frosty Culp

My mother was a force to be reckoned with, and she liked having her family altogether all the time, and that was nice. All three of us lived here in High Point and we all had three children. And so, to me, this is where everything starts.

The birth experience with our first son, it was as pleasurable as giving birth can be. One consideration was that we wanted to have it natural and the staff they really encouraged me to go through with my plan, and that's something I really appreciated.

Morgan Qubein

Every nurse and doctor that I came in contact with was aware of my history, understood the game plan, and it just made for a very relaxing and rewarding experience. I felt very much like a person that was being cared for and not just a number on the board or on the page, and that makes all the difference.

All three of my children were born in the High Point Medical Center. All the providers were great. The doctors that came in, whether it was our doctors from Pine West OBGYN, or from the hospital themselves, were excellent. The care was excellent. It's just the facilities and their ability to execute on their care need to be upgraded.

Morgan Qubein

There's definitely opportunity to expand the room size and make it a bit more comfortable, especially if you have a larger family, other children.

Raven Jefferson

I will say, when I had my mother to visit, she said the rooms look exactly the same from when she gave birth to me 20 something years prior.

So, I think that the quality of our providers that we have at the High Point Medical Center deserve to work in a space that is top of line and excellent. So the Earl and Kathryn Congdon Family Foundation chose to give a substantial gift to the Esther R. Culp Women's Center because it's really important for the community to invest in its hospitals.

The Family First campaign is to update the labor and delivery, the postpartum, the nursery, and they will be on par with the ones that are surrounding us. That's the convenience for the patient to have all that here and not 30 miles away.

When we talk about community, the hospital, the place where our children are born, is one of the things that unites us as community. And so we want to have a inviting space where people want to come to start their families. And I think the opportunity to invest in that particular part of the hospital to ensure that it is the most up to date, that we have the kinds of rooms that mirror how birthing is done nowadays. So we've got to be able to create those kinds of facilities so that our community wants to come here to have their children.

Morgan Qubein

Yeah. I think it gives people a sense of security. You want to feel like when the unexpected happens, you have a place close by to turn to for support and care.

Joe Blosser

The Earl and Kathryn Congdon Family Foundation is really blessed with this opportunity to name the Susan and Rob Culp Women's and Children's Family Pavilion as a special place where many people here in High Point have started their families and now we can ensure that for generations to come, that's where people are going to choose to start their families because it will be a top flight facility with the best doctors. Best medical care that you can get.
