Now imagine staying in this position for more than ten weeks,
in the Hospital, by doctor’s orders to avoid delivering your twin babies 20 weeks prematurely. With each day becoming more difficult
than the one before, Jennifer Finley held on for her babies’ dear lives 28 weeks and 5 days before giving birth to Braden (3 lbs. 4 oz.)
and Kaitlyn (2 lbs. 14 oz.) on August 12, 2007.
Jennifer’s connection to The Chester County Hospital began long before her twins’ arrival. Jennifer met her
husband, Mark Finley, while she was working in the nutrition department as a teenager; however, she did not
know at the time that the Hospital would become such an integral part of her life.
“We chose the Hospital because it is the only one in the area that has a Level III NICU, and we knew our
pregnancy with the twins was high-risk,” according to Jennifer. Mark and Jennifer were grateful for the
dedicated care from obstetrician Melissa L. Delaney, DO, and the maternity staff. Jennifer remembers, “We
became very close with the day and night nurses having been in the Hospital for more than two months. They
showed us how the equipment worked, and they figured out ways to wash my hair since I wasn’t permitted
to sit up. They really cared and it showed.”
The Finleys were so moved by the support they received, they allowed Liz Zehner, RN, Clinical Manager of
Maternity and Nursery, to share their story in a letter to the community. Her letter was tremendously successful
and it helped the Hospital reach a new record for Annual Appeal support in fiscal year 2007-2008 – more than
$427,000. Liz became close to Jennifer because she would visit with her often to help raise her spirits. “I love
what I do, and I love the Hospital. The nurses here are committed and do whatever they can to provide
exceptional care,” says Liz. Beginning as a candy striper, Liz has worked as a nurse at the Hospital for more
than 23 years.When she reunited with the Finley family in August, Liz was excited by the twins’ progress. The
one-year-old twins look wonderful, with Kaitlyn reaching the 90th percentile for height, and Braden, whose
stay in the Hospital was longer, sharing a great gummy grin when tickled.

Jennifer and Mark have agreed to share their story with the community for a couple of reasons. “We wanted to give other families hope
that even against the odds you can make it. And, we felt it was important to do what we could to help support the Hospital. The service,
equipment and care we received in labor and delivery, maternity and the NICU were crucial to the health of our twins,” says Jennifer.
