lcmh.com 15 The best care for your new bundle of joy Our advanced simulation training ensures that our nurses are ready to care for your growing family When you welcome your newest family member into the world, you expect the best-trained nurses by your side, caring for you and your new bundle of joy. That’s why Lake Charles Memorial Hospital for Women uses advanced training and nursing education simulation tools to ensure that the nurses in your delivery room are more prepared than ever. Elevating the standard of care Gaumard’s “Super TORY” baby and “NOELLE” mom are among the most advanced childbirth simulation technologies on the market, designed to deliver an immersive experience like no other. By mimicking actual patient responses and complex medical conditions, this unparalleled realism is bridging the gap between theory and practice. LCMH for Women is the first hospital in the region to use Super TORY for nurse education, elevating the level of childbirth care in the community. “Our nurses are already extremely talented and passionate about labor and delivery, but having access to this caliber of training takes it to the next level,” says Kimberly Eaves, director of the Family Birth Center. Your help makes a difference This technology is made possible by the supporters of The Foundation’s Women’s and Children’s Fund. The Foundation at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit entity and serves as the philanthropic arm of the health system. Every dollar raised is used to assist the health system in funding programs and projects, advancing facilities and technology, and directly affecting the lives of our patients. It is through the support of generous donors that we are able to continue the rich tradition of caring that began more than 70 years ago. To contribute, visit lcmh.com/donate.

Super TORY is a full-term newborn weighing 8 pounds and measuring 21 inches long. She can cry, grunt, blink her eyes, and move her mouth and all four limbs. She can be programmed to breathe and produce heart and lung sounds, and she can even respond to a mechanical ventilator. She includes 10 simulation learning scenarios that will better prepare nurses for any situation at birth.
