M E D I C A L C E N T R A L ÔTake me to Swedish … I'm having a baby!' W Swedish offers expectant parents state-of-the-art maternity and OB/GYN care. With a professional medical staff of more than 100 perinatologists, obstetricians, specialized OB anesthesiologists, midwives, neonatologists, pediatricians, intensivists, expertly trained nurses and more than 1,800 years of combined experience, it was the hospital of choice for the parents of 2,000 babies who were delivered there in 2012 alone. Kathie J was expecting a baby girl in July. To celebrate her new bundle of joy, Swedish teamed up with KS107 .5 to throw her a baby shower unlike any other. Hundreds of fans attended her celebration and got a chance to not only wish her well but to meet with OB experts from the hospital. More than 500 pounds of diapers, wipes and baby wash donations were given to Well-Fed Inc., a nonprofit in Englewood, Colo., that helps needy families in the community. "We consider our listeners to be family, so there may be a microphone in the delivery room with me … But I made the right career choice in radio, rather than rolling in a full TV camera crew," she says. • PHOTO CREDITS: KS107.5 (LEFT) AND AUDRA MINCEY (RIGHT) hen it came to having a baby, Denver radio DJ Kathie J wanted to choose the right hospital to deliver her first child. She wanted a team of medical experts who would listen to her many questions, answer those questions and gi ve her the support she was looking for through her journey. She found just that at Swedish Medical Center. Kathie J is KS 107 .5's beloved morning show host and speaks candidly about her journey on becoming a new mom on her radio show. After choosing Swedish, she didn't hesitate to tell her fans exactly why she made the choice she did. "We were seeking a personal, human touch to bring our own little human into this world," says Kathie J. "Other hospitals lacked that. Our questions and concerns weren't addressed at all. My husband, J.J., and I wanted the best possible experience and care. Swedish Medical Center offers that and more." w w w. s p i r i t o f w o m e n . c o m FA L L 2 013 SPI RIT O F WOM EN 25
