<< BACK | Download Word File Vancouver, January 1, 2006 — The Lower Mainland's first baby of the New Year was born at St. Paul's Hospital early today. The New Year's baby, a girl named Natalie Sofia Wan, was born at one minute and 38 seconds after midnight, weighing 8 pounds, 15 ounces. Her parents are Willy and Lena Wan of Vancouver. Natalie is the couple's second child. Every year, 1,800 women choose to have their babies at St. Paul's, where a comprehensive obstetrical service is available for both low-risk moms-to-be and high-risk women who may require the support of an Intensive Care Unit. The Maternity Centre takes a family-centred approach, which means that for most families all necessary care will be provided in one room. Fathers or one other significant person can stay 24 hours to support mother and baby. A Special Care Nursery is available for babies who require closer nursing observation and care. St. Paul's is a major teaching facility for obstetric physicians and nurses. -30- Contact: Gavin Wilson Providence Health Care Communications Pager 604-667-4397 << BACK | Download Word File |
