"Prior to my decision to take a six-week maternity

"Prior to my decision to take a six-week maternity leave, I was encouraged by the faculty to take all the time I needed. Not only is the residency supportive of mom physicians, but so is the leadership and everyone else at Colquitt Regional. Once I returned to full rotations, I was fully encouraged to take the time I needed to pump for my baby, no matter the time. I was also afforded pumping breaks built into my schedule. Georgia South is truly a family, and I’m blessed that I was embraced in growing mine." -Dr. Baker

This week is Pregnant Women Vaccine Awareness Week

This week is Pregnant Women Vaccine Awareness Week! Any pregnant woman that receives receives a vaccine at Sterling Center for Women’s Health, Georgia South Family Medicine Residency Clinic or Ellenton Clinic through August 13th will be entered to WIN an “Expectant Mother’s Pampering Basket” full of special items for the Mother-to-be. There will be 1 winner and we will call the patient the following week so they can claim their prize.

All of our pregnant patients should speak to their doctor about preventative vaccinations at their office visits. These vaccines include:
-COVID-19 Vaccine for the Prevention of Coronavirus.
-Influenza Vaccines to prevent influenza each year between October and April.
-Tdap Vaccine given to help prevent the transmission of Pertussis to newborn infants. Please consider if your family is expecting a new baby, as newborns do not begin to receive vaccines for prevention until 2 months after birth. Pertussis can be deadly to a newborn. Administration of this vaccine is recommended for family members that will be in contact with your newborn after birth, as they can transmit Pertussis too.

Your health and the health of your unborn baby is our concern and prevention is the key to SUCCESS! #NationalImmunizationAwarenessMonth #ivax2protect
