Kourtney Stacey was 22 weeks pregnant when she was diagnosed with COVID, pneumonia and respiratory failure. Due to the danger she and her unborn baby were in, Kourtney was placed on ECMO, a form of life support that provides cardiac and respiratory support to those who cannot support themselves. After over a month of receiving care at Spartanburg Medical Center, Kourtney recovered and went on to deliver her baby girl 67 days after being discharged.

Recently, Kourtney and her family had the opportunity to return to Spartanburg Medical Center and thank her medical team, who worked tiredlessly to provide for her during her stay. Her team even got to meet Ella Grace - who is now three years old and thriving.

The coolers are designed to keep blood at the appropriate temperature. Each EMS vehicle will be stocked with whole blood and packed red blood cells, ensuring that paramedics can provide treatment to patients of all types.
