After waking up in extreme pain, Gene collapsed at home and was taken to an area hospital where he was diagnosed with a Type A aortic dissection. They could not provide the care he needed and two more hospitals also declined. The call to the DMC gave Gene a chance to survive. The DMC cardiovascular team repaired the aortic dissection, and put him on the road to recovery. Gene regained his strength through physical therapy at the DMC Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan. When asked about his DMC experience, Gene shared, “The DMC helped me to enjoy my 85th Christmas this year with my family.”

Jasmine's Delivery Story

Sep 28, 2020

Jasmine Price’s second pregnancy was going well. Her family was anxiously waiting 6 more weeks for Jasmine’s due date to welcome their baby boy. At only 29 weeks, Jasmine was admitted to DMC Hutzel Women’s Hospital for premature labor, and went in to labor again two weeks later. Their son received care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and in time was moved to the Special Care Nursery for several weeks where he grew and thrived. Jasmine credits the Hutzel teams from OB-ED triage, Labor and Delivery, NICU and Special Care Nursery for the safe delivery of her son, their health and a comforting experience as they plan to return home soon with their growing family.
