Talk about perfect timing!

Two Massachusetts sisters, Dalina and Jouliana, gave birth at UMass Memorial Medical Center on the same day — after one went into labor while leaving a visit to meet her newborn niece.

“Our parents were going between the rooms … They didn't know which baby to pick up first,” Dalina said.

Two Massachusetts sisters gave birth on the same day at the same hospital, welcoming ‘twin cousins’ and recovering in neighboring rooms. ‘Our parents were going between the rooms,’ one of the sisters recalled.

Meet Jerrica Savoie, a Registered Nurse in UMass Memorial Medical Center's Ob/Gyn Department and Community Women's Care clinic.

"I chose to go into healthcare when I was 17 while going through the process of applying to colleges. I knew I wanted to help people in a meaningful way. As a first-generation college student, deciding on a career path felt especially important, and healthcare stood out to me as a way to make a real difference. Over time, that decision has grown into a deep commitment to caring for patients during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

My favorite part of my job is the relationships I’ve built with patients I’ve cared for and my coworkers. Being able to connect with patients and support them through important moments in their lives is incredibly meaningful, and over the years I’ve also formed strong bonds with colleagues that have turned into lifelong friendships.

One of the most memorable moments in my career was receiving heartfelt recognition from the family of a patient I cared for in the emergency room during her end of life. It meant so much to know that, during such a difficult time, my care and compassion made a lasting impact. That experience has stayed with me and continues to shape how I show up for my patients every day.

I love working at UMass Memorial because of the strong sense of teamwork and the shared commitment to patient care. Having spent time in both the emergency department and now ambulatory care, I’ve seen how dedicated people are across the organization, and it really feels like a place where you’re supported and valued.

When I’m not working, you can usually find me spending time with my family, getting outdoors whenever I can, working on home projects, or heading to a spin class."

Thank you for all the compassion and care you show our patients, Jerrica.

More younger adults are being diagnosed with colon cancer — in their 40s, 30s, and even their 20s. Worcester’s Tracy O’Rourke, a patient at UMass Memorial Medical Center, is one of them.

Our expert, Dr. Justin Maykel, says they still don’t fully understand why rates are rising among younger people, but lifestyle factors like diet and inactivity may play a role. Family history and higher risks among certain ethnic groups, including African-Americans and Native Americans, are also important factors.

The message is clear: Don’t ignore symptoms, know your family history, and talk to your doctor about screening earlier if you may be at risk. Early detection can save lives.

The American Cancer Society estimates there will be 159,000 new cases of colorectal cancer in the U.S. this year. While rates have dropped overall due to screening, cases in people under age 50 are rising.

Two years ago, at 26 weeks gestation, Maura, of Berlin, developed kidney stones, a medical emergency made even more dangerous by the fact that she was already considered high risk due to complications in a prior pregnancy.

“I was in so much pain, I honestly thought I was going into labor,” says Maura. “But when I got to the hospital, the nurse looked at me and said, ‘No, this isn’t labor, you’re in way too much pain for that.’”

Because of the risk to her unborn baby, doctors at UMass Memorial Medical Center performed a ureteroscopy. The procedure required close coordination between urology, maternal fetal medicine, anesthesia, and neonatology.

“I was awake, and there was this giant team, I think like 12 or more people, all standing around me, making sure everything was safe for me and the baby while they did the procedure,” Maura says. “Obviously, you’re nervous because your baby is right there. But watching them break up the stone on the TV screen in real time was incredible.”

Five weeks later, Maura delivered her son via C-section, healthy and full term, one week before he was due on Mother’s Day weekend.
