Jessica Barto, Cheltenham Township’s EMS Director & Chief of Operations, was featured by The Philadelphia Inquirer today for reuniting with a newborn she resuscitated in July.

Baby Isabella was born three months premature to Crystal Hilliard-Keith and Anthony Robinson of Elkins Park. Barto and veteran paramedic Gerald Speed responded to a 911 call on July 19 when Hilliard-Keith suddenly went into labor.

Barto delivered Isabella then started chest compressions with one finger, The Inquirer said. They were driven to Jefferson Abington Hospital where staff placed Isabella on a warmer, gave her medication to restart her heart, and inserted a breathing tube. Five minutes later, Isabella had a heart rate and stable oxygen.

Today, baby Isabella weighs over six pounds and is still in the NICU at Jefferson Abington.

On Saturday, Barto and Speed attended Hilliard-Keith and Robinson’s wedding, The Inquirer said.

Barto’s ongoing relationship with Isabella’s parents since the delivery was featured by CBS News in late October. You can read our coverage here.
