When Lisa Greiner went into premature labor on Dec. 26, 2009, she was transported by ambulance from Ottumwa to Mercy in the middle of a snowstorm to ensure she and the identical twins she was carrying received the best care possible. Thanks to Mercy Women & Infants’ Center and Perinatal Center of Iowa, Nigel and Noah are happy, healthy and into a whole lot of mischief.
In the video above, Lisa shares her experience with Mercy and PCI. Her entire story is also featured in Mercy's 2010 Annual Report.
