40 Extraordinary Years

Rosemary Smith & MFM employees |
She was the first
Woman’s Hospital employee to celebrate a 40th anniversary,
and the last of the original Woman’s Hospital employees. Rosemary Smith
started working here before our doors opened on November 18, 1968 --
before our first patient was cared for. She was in the room when
Marguerite Ann Wingate, Woman’s Hospital’s first baby was born.

Rosemary worked in
Labor and Delivery for 22 years, so she has been around for countless
births. The rest of her career was spent in perinatology and then Maternal-Fetal Medicine.

Rosemary Smith & Dr. Stedman |
About 200 friends,
co-workers, and former co-workers joined Rosemary and her husband to
celebrate her retirement on Wednesday, October 15. Rosemary welcomed
a new grandbaby into the world this month, and plans to spend a lot of
time with all of her grandchildren.
Rosemary, thank you
for 40 years of service to the women and children of Baton Rouge. We’ll
miss you!
