Earlier this month we let you know of the first baby in our area born in 2024 at White Oak Medical Center at 12:37am. We recently received information about the first baby born at Shady Grove Hospital in 2024, though this baby chose to sleep in a little.
At 9:52 a.m. on January 1st in Rockville, Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center celebrated its first baby of the year, a baby boy weighing 7 pounds, 11 ounces and born to a Gaithersburg, Maryland, family.
The New Year’s baby at each hospital received gift baskets filled with books, toys and newborn essentials to help celebrate being 2024’s first arrivals.
“Our Birth Center is thrilled to welcome the first baby of 2024,” said Nan Troiano, Shady Grove Medical Center’s director of Women’s and Infants’ Services. “It is an honor to serve our community and provide world-class care to new parents and their babies.” Shady Grove Medical Center delivers approximately 4,500 babies each year and offers a Level III neonatal intensive care unit for premature or critically ill infants.
