What about a name? Would their new baby be as happy and healthy as Stephanie and Landon, their first two children?

“All of our kids were born at Southeast, and each birth was a wonderful experience,” Steve said. “The staff made us feel so comfortable and confident every time,” he added.

While the staff’s experience and competence has been another constant for the birth of each Felter baby, Steve and Leslie did notice some changes for the birth of their third child, Kendall.

“Southeast’s private LDRP birthing rooms really exceeded what we expected,” commented Leslie. “All the surroundings were very comfortable…so much nicer than even just a few years ago.”

The new LDRP suite and nursery area helped make Kendall’s birth all the more special. “But it was the staff that made the difference,” she said. “They really treated us like family!
