r'N,.-i ; J - x .I ;.'4Td "HOW THOUGHTFUL," says new mother Vicki Gallion, as nurse Mary Hatch delivers blue carnations to her and her son Phillip Ryan from the Ashley Valley Medical Center. Center sends flowers to new mothers Flowers say you're special. And that's exactly the way new mothers feel at Ashley Valley Medical Center where each new mom is honored with a pink (for a baby girl) or a blue (for a baby boy) carnation by the Obstetrics's Department. A local florist is willed each day by a member of the department. The flowers are arranged according to the name of the mother and the baby's sex and then delivered to the mothers by nurses at the center. This thoughtful gesture is a way for the AVMC to say congratulations to Mom and new baby.
