6 | Health Matters: Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center
S
arah Abrams knows
the importance of
asking questions. A
special education teacher,
she spends most of her day
both asking and being asked
questions constantly, often
having to repeat herself to
her students over and over.
But she knows that
repetition is part of
education, and that the
person asking the question
simply wants to feel heard
and valued as they try to
understand what's going on.
"I'm really big on com-
munication," says Sarah.
"In my family, we ask a lot of
questions, especially in new
or scary situations. We want
to know everything that's
happening."
So when she found herself
dealing with the scariest
moment of her life, Sarah
was grateful to be in the care
of the team at Providence
Saint Joseph Medical Center,
who "went above and beyond
Family-
Centered
Care
Communication
and compassion
helped this
family through
traumatic birth
