December 7th was a historic day in Indianapolis. Wishard Memorial Hospital (aka City Hospital, aka Marion County Hospital, aka Mama's Work) closed and a new era/hospital opened as Eskenazi Health. The old building was more than 150 years old and served as a hospital during the Civil War, various health epidemics, and served the underserved of Indianapolis. Mama volunteered to help with this historic day in which they had to move al the patients from one facility to the other in operation Go WEST (Wishard-Eskenazi Saturday Transition). She is very proud of all her fellow coworkers and the mission of her organization.

In all the whole day went remarkable smooth. It took 8 hours to move 157 patients including 22 NICU babies. The faces of the patients were full of awe and gratitude. It was a fine day in our hospital's history!
