When Latricia Davis learned she was expecting twins, she already knew where she wanted to deliver: Parkridge East Hospital. She decided to return to the care team she knew and trusted.
She expected familiar faces, experienced hands and care that felt personal.
What she did not expect was how much that trust would matter in the weeks after delivery.
Latricia’s son, Jamariyon, was born healthy. But not long after he came home, she noticed something was off. His head tilted to one side and his movement seemed limited.
He was diagnosed with torticollis, a condition that affects the muscles of the neck and can be common in newborns, especially twins.
Latricia’s first question was simple: Could it be corrected?
At Parkridge East Hospital, the answer was more than reassurance. It was a clear plan and a team ready to help.
Small movements, big progress
At just 2 weeks old, Jamariyon began care at Parkridge East Hospital’s Pediatric Physical Therapy Clinic with physical therapist Lexy Chapin. His therapy included gentle stretching, guided positioning and intentional play designed to support his movement and development.
The exercises may look simple, but they require skill, consistency and close support.
For Latricia, the care meant even more because it came from a team she already trusted.
“I was so comfortable because I knew the people here,” she said.
Week by week, she began to see progress.
“I’ve seen a lot of changes,” Latricia said. “He moves his head so much more.”
In the early days, Jamariyon struggled to turn fully. Now, he is moving more freely and exploring the world around him in new ways.
“He’s able to move his head freely,” Latricia said with a smile.
Care that continued beyond birth
Jamariyon was not the only one receiving care.
After delivery, Latricia faced challenges of her own, including difficulty walking. She was referred to Parkridge East Hospital’s Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Program, where she worked with physical therapist Courtney O’Connell.
“She was very patient and helpful and by my side the entire time,” Latricia said. “I never felt rushed.”
That steady support helped Latricia regain confidence.
With hands-on guidance, she built the strength and confidence to return to full activity and care for her growing family.
A place of healing
For Latricia, Parkridge East Hospital has been more than a hospital.
It is where she has experienced exceptional care through routine deliveries and complex recoveries. And it is where she has found consistency, compassion and support.
“I just love the staff,” she said.
That continuity of care made all the difference.
From labor and delivery to specialized therapy services, Parkridge East Hospital supported Latricia and Jamariyon through every stage of recovery.
Looking back on her experience, one word stands out most.
“Grateful,” Latricia said. “I am grateful for them.”
