“Thanks everyone for your well wishes! Isabelle Wen Walker was born yesterday,” Dr. Wen said on Twitter. “We are all doing well and looking forward to introducing her to big brother Eli when we get home!”
The former Planned Parenthood president tweeted she was headed to labor and delivery on Friday, and in a separate tweet mentioned her appreciation for those who have to see patients throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
She called for more personal protective equipment for health care providers.
I’m in the OB ward now & really appreciate this article. Nurses, docs & techs here are seeing patients 24/7. Some will be asymptomatic #covid19 carriers. Already, 1 nurse tested positive. My hospital only issuing one mask per week to each provider. #GetUsPPE https://t.co/m3DtV19XVG
