Oh, baby! Oconee Memorial Hospital named Best Maternity Hospital

Oconee Memorial Hospital has been recognized by Newsweek/The Leapfrog Group for excellent maternity care. In fact, seven of the 10 hospitals ranked in South Carolina are part of Prisma Health – the only hospitals in the Midlands and Upstate to be recognized. This honor validates that we are achieving low rates of C-section, episiotomy and early elective births.

And that translates to great care for our mothers and babies.

Jury set for ex-cop’s trial in Floyd death; starts Monday MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A jury has been seated for the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer in George Floyd’s death, with opening statements set for Monday in a case that led to weeks of protests and a na- tional soul-searching about racial justice. The final juror was chosen Tuesday, wrapping up a process that took more than two weeks and was complicated by world- wide attention to Floyd’s death, even before the city of Minneapolis announced a $27 million settlement to his family during the fourth day of jury selection. Attorneys and the judge worked through more than 100 people, dismissing most because they acknowledged strong views about an encounter that was captured on bystander video. The panel now includes 15 jurors. Twelve will deliberate, with two alternates; Henne- pin County Judge Peter Cahill has said he will excuse the extra juror when opening statements begin on Monday if the 14 others still are able to serve. Derek Chauvin is charged with murder and manslaughter in the May 25 death of Floyd.
