Caregiver of the Week

Department Duke OB/Gyn · March 19, 2021 "Since becoming labor and delivery medical director – in the midst of the pandemic – Dr. Gilner has given everything she has for all members of the unit. Earlier this year, there was a bad outcome on the unit, and Dr. Gilner immediately came to help. She ended up staying all day, making sure everyone got something to eat and drink, and letting providers have the space to take a moment to be able to continue serving our patients. Thank you, Dr. Gilner!"
