2021: The Nurses of the Childbirth Center at Parkwest Medical Center

At the last minute, the COVID-19 pandemic made meeting in person impossible, but these nurses continued to show up for our registration numbers. Apart from online registrations, the Childbirth Center remains our #1 registration partners at Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Knox County. We showed up on September 20, 2021 to show our love and appreciation with a small presentation of the 2021 Seeds of Imagination Literacy award. Holly Woodlee and Christy Richardson stepped in to represent the department, and local news stations were kind enough to make sure they got the recognition they deserved. Check out the articles below to get a glimpse into what a crazy, stressful situation 2021 was for Parkwest Childbirth Center, and how they made literacy a priority anyway:
