On Tuesday, March 12, 102-year-old Josephine Campanella was rushed to Unity Hospital after a fall. As she was being treated in the Emergency Department, family members started to get calls that another family member could also soon be on the way to the hospital. Josephine’s great-granddaughter, Allison Sharpe, was going into labor.
As Josephine continued her recovery at the hospital Wednesday, Allison arrived at the August Family Birth Place at Unity. And on Thursday, March 14, at 12:11 p.m., little Macey Josephine Heller came into the world. Her middle name is in honor of her great, great grandmother.
On Friday, Josephine got a chance to meet Macey Jo for the first time, surrounded by five generations of family.
“Rochester Regional Health and Unity Hospital are proud to be a part of Josephine’s care and healing, from her emergency visit to her rehabilitation care,” officials with RRH said. “We were honored to help welcome the next generation of this special family with Macey Jo’s birth.”
