Overview

• Methodist Dallas Medical Center released surveillance video from Sept. 2 showing staff sprinting to an SUV moments after Luis Mendoza delivered daughter Kamilah outside the entrance.
• Mendoza said labor intensified two blocks from the hospital, the baby's head began to emerge in the vehicle, and he assisted before help arrived.
• Retired nurse manager and front-desk volunteer Carrie Urista reached the SUV first and later called Mendoza the hero for placing the newborn on Angelica Martinez’s abdomen.
• Hospital president John Phillips was among the group that converged with nurses and doctors, describing the scene as a rare television-drama moment.
• Within minutes, Martinez and Kamilah were moved to labor and delivery and later went home in good health, and the family returned on Sept. 16 to thank staff; Kamilah has two older sisters, ages 10 and 16.
