Newborn Spotlight
“I have given birth twice at Carthage. Dr. Nwogu delivered both of my girls. I was so happy with the care I received giving birth to my first daughter, that led me back to Carthage this time around. I had two excellent nurses, Abby and Rachel, who were incredible supporters. Margot Wiley was born 9/5/23 at 6:26pm, she arrived weighing in at 7 pounds and 9 ounces, measuring a perfect 20 inches in length!” – Paige Garnsey
