HASTINGS — The Mary Lanning Healthcare Family Care Center is ready to welcome the first baby of 2020, following a record-setting number of births in December 2018 and 2019.
Shana Schultz, Director of the Family Care Center, said she and her staff are excited to kick off another busy year, welcoming new babies and their families. In December 2018, MLH welcomed a record number of 104 babies in a single month. As of mid-day Tuesday, FCC was close to tying the 2018 number. Previously, the most babies ever delivered in one month was 98.
Schultz said she was not sure when the first baby of the new year would arrive at MLH. In keeping with tradition, Mary Lanning will present a gift to the first baby.
Members of the media who wish to check if a New Year’s baby has arrived may call the Family Care Center at 402-461-5226 on Wednesday, January 1.
