helps parents capture
baby's first days of life
Women’s Memorial Hermann
Memorial City Medical
Center is the first and only hospital
in Houston to offer new parents the
personal, private opportunity to capture
and preserve their baby’s first moments
of life on video.
With this free electronic service,
courtesy of Memorial Hermann’s
partner, Biovideo®, each family
receives a fully customized video
capturing the highlights of a newborn’s
arrival. A professional team of digital
photographers unobtrusively captures
precious moments and emotions
documenting the mother’s first
minutes with the baby and the baby’s
introduction to the rest of the family.
“We believe this new service is a
great way for parents to relax and focus
on their new baby, and not on their
cameras,” said Keith Alexander, chief
executive officer of Memorial Hermann
Memorial City Medical Center. “Parents
have already told us they are excited
to have such an expert product to
show friends and family; they wish they
had something like this for their older
children.”
As soon as a mom knows she is
pregnant, she can register online with
Biovideo® and start uploading prenatal
photographs such as sonograms to a
personal, password-protected profile.
When the new parents are ready to
leave the hospital, they can preview
the electronic video documenting all
the memories captured in the hospital.
Both the video and still photos can be
accessed by mom or dad on a secure
webpage and shared via email or
social media. If parents are interested
in purchasing a hard copy of the video
or downloading it, they can do so for a
nominal fee.
“We believe this new service is a
great way for parents to relax and
focus on their new baby, and not on
their cameras...”
