SILVER SPRING, Md. — An Oxon Hill family is celebrating the New Year with their newly born bundle of joy.
Adventist White Oak Medical Center (WOMC), located in Silver Spring, rang in 2024 with the birth of the hospital’s first baby. The family welcomed a baby girl, weighing 4 pounds 11 ounces, at 12:37 a.m. on Jan. 1.
The hospital says both the mom and baby are happy, healthy and recovering on the WOMC Mother Baby Unit. The baby is among the first to be born in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area in the New Year.
As the hospital’s first baby of 2024, she and her parents received a special gift from the hospital – a large basket filled with baby essentials and toys.
“With each New Year comes new hopes, new dreams, new expectations, and new life,” said Nia Williams, director of Labor & Delivery at WOMC. “The team in the Women and Infant’s Services Department here at White Oak Medical Center are honored to welcome the first baby of 2024 and provide God-centered care to all of our precious infants and their families. We feel so blessed they choose us to bring their new life into this world.”
