Allison and Ben
Coppage prepped
for the arrival of
baby Benjamin
by enrolling in
LifeFit Baby
University's Gift
of Motherhood.

witching physicians midway
through pregnancy is a move
most women would dread.
But Allison Coppage wanted
to consider it.
At 20 weeks, Coppage learned Beaufort
Memorial Hospital had opened a new
OB-GYN practice, offering her the
opportunity to deliver her firstborn
closer to home than originally planned.
"I wanted to have my child in
Beaufort," says the Lady's Island resident. "It was important to my husband, Ben, and me to be close to home,
family and friends. We loved the idea
of our baby starting his life in the community that he is going to grow up in

Lady's Island resident Allison Coppage
couldn't be happier with Beaufort
Memorial's OB-GYN practice and her
birthing experience at the hospital
and that will hopefully support him his
whole life."
Never mind that she has a sentimental connection to BMH. The hospital's Birthing Center is named after
her grandfather Earnest Collins, MD,
Beaufort County's first gynecologist.
Her father, pathologist Brad Collins,
MD, also happens to be the medical
director of the hospital's laboratory.
So when Beaufort Memorial
Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists
opened its doors last year at Beaufort
Medical Plaza, Coppage booked the
first appointment for a "meet and greet"
with Berniece Redmond, MD, the first
physician to join the practice.
"She was so kind, I didn't hesitate
to make the change," Coppage says.
Within a few months, Drs.
Christopher Benson, Gregory Miller
and Claude Tolbert were on board.
Coppage saw all four doctors during
her pregnancy.
"I really liked them," she says.
"They took the time to answer all of
the crazy new-mom questions I had.
I never felt rushed."
State-of-the-Art Care
The office staff was equally obliging.
"They did a great job working appointments into my schedule," says Coppage,
who serves as assistant Beaufort County
