Building My Family While Building Grand View

October 25th, 2022  Topics: Patient Story

Hanging off the side of a six-story building is no big deal for Eric Musselman. But he admits, the prospect of having two daughters, under the age of 3, that was initially… intimidating.

Fortunately, his wife Nicole knew her husband would be up to the task.

The Musselmans, who live in Telford, readily admit the birth of their firstborn daughter, Madelyn, wasn’t the best experience. “She was born at another local hospital,” Nicole says. And though she did not want to go into detail, she added, “I knew if we had another child, we were going to look for a new hospital.”

In October 2021, when she shared the news of her second pregnancy with Eric, he had an idea. For a few months, he’d been working to build Grand View Health’s new pavilion. The building’s sleek metal exterior? That’s the work of Eric and his company Eastern Exterior Wall Systems.

So, when it came to choosing the best hospital for his wife to give birth, Eric suggested, “let’s try Grand View Health.”

The decision meant switching to a new obstetrician and practice, Grand View Health OB/GYN. “I got to meet all of the doctors throughout my pregnancy,” says Nicole. “When I delivered, it was good to see a familiar face in the hospital with me. Our daughter was delivered by Jennifer Landes, DO, and the experience was great.”

Nicole, Eric and Madelyn welcomed baby Logan into the world on May 9, 2022.

“We are one of the few area practices who both care for moms throughout their pregnancy AND have an OB/GYN at the hospital for delivery,” says Dr. Landes. Many other hospitals now use “delivery teams” and families don’t know the physician in the delivery room.

“The staff was aware my husband was working on the hospital and took a photo of him holding Logan up to see the new building just outside the window,” Nicole says. “It was a special day in many ways for our growing family. We preferred our experience at Grand View.”

With seven offices throughout Upper Bucks and northern Montgomery counties, Grand View Health OB/GYN is the area’s fastest growing practice.
