Amy’s Story

I have three beautiful sons, all of whom I gave birth to at Bonner General. My first-born son was delivered by Dr. Bowden. Dr. Algoe delivered my second son, and Dr. Conner delivered my third son. Dr. Huntsberger provided me with incredible prenatal care, information, and constant reassurance through the pandemic while pregnant.

Dr. Gilbert and Dr. DeLand were my pediatricians growing up. They are also the pediatric docs that did follow-up care for my children and have remained their pediatricians all these years.

For me, it was so much more than a place to deliver my babies. Some of the nurses are the moms of the kids I grew up with, like Marilyn Becker. Much of the other staff and doctors are my friends and colleagues.

Bonner General is a place that felt safe and familiar to me. This is a loss that is far greater than what is on the surface. This is a family that our community will not be the same without.
