Outstanding Patient Care

Portia Harrell was an estrogen-positive breast cancer survivor. Recently remarried to a man who was told he couldn't father children, Portia wasn't concerned about pregnancy - until she was with child.

Portia was scared the cancer would return, and her weight and a past miscarriage added further complications. Maternal-Fetal Medicine took on her high-risk case when others would not. With their care and support, Portia welcomed a healthy baby boy.
