MEDNAX congratulates Pediatrix Medical Group of Kansas and Saint Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City for care of micro-preemie baby honored at State of the Union

Last night’s State of the Union Address included recognition of an incredible success story where the life of a 21-week premature baby was saved at Saint Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City.

MEDNAX, Inc. (NYSE: MD) wishes to recognize Saint Luke’s and Pediatrix Medical Group of Kansas, a MEDNAX-affiliated neonatology practice, which clinically managed the care of this baby.

Overseen by Barbara Carr, M.D., the practice’s Medical Director, Pediatrix Medical Group of Kansas has clinically managed the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at St. Luke’s for over 20 years.

“The success of this micro-preemie baby and her family was a coordinated team effort, as it always is, which included support from our neonatology group, hospital administration and Saint Luke’s nursing staff. I am truly proud of what we accomplished together,” said Dr. Carr. “Our practice also benefits from decades of investment from MEDNAX, helping us to provide leading care to our patients. In particular, MEDNAX’s 100,000 Babies campaign has set the standard of care for babies across the country and directly enabled us to save this baby and thousands of others. I look forward to continuing to work with my incredible team and MEDNAX to help many more babies survive and thrive for years to come.”
