Meadowview Regional Medical Center Welcomes First Baby of 2024

Maysville, KY (January 2, 2024) – Meadowview Regional Medical Center is ringing in 2024 with the year’s first bundle of joy. Weighing 7 pounds and 5 ounces and measuring 20 inches, Isaiah was born to Kelly and Greg, January 02, 2024, at 2:26 p.m.

“We are so thrilled to welcome our newest family member!” said Kelly. “The physicians, nurses and staff at Meadowview took such great care of us and we are so thankful to them for making this experience so special.”

Meadowview’s Women’s Services is committed to providing high quality, compassionate care close to home for new and expecting parents in the region. MRMC’s Women’s Services offers Kangaroo Care.  Kangaroo Care is a practiced technique where the infant is held skin-to-skin with the mother. You will be covered with warm blankets and the baby will get a hat. The one to two hours of Kangaroo Care are important for you and your baby. Fathers can also participate in Kangaroo Care. We encourage that you and your baby continue skin-to-skin as much as you would like after birth and even when you go home. The birthing experience at Meadowview Regional Medical Center encourages babies rooming-in with their family, promoting education, and providing hands-on experiences with the care of your baby.

“We have an extraordinary team of clinical and support staff who are committed to maintaining a safe, welcoming and comfortable environment for mothers and their babies on New Year’s Day and year-round,” said Kelli Gross, RN, Director of Women’s Services at Meadowview Regional Medical Center. “One of our greatest privileges is helping our community’s families welcome their newest additions in a healthy, positive and memorable way.”

Meadowview Regional Medical Center, PrimaryPlus, Kid Care, provided the newborn with gift baskets with books, pampers, wet wipes, onesies, baby shampoo, soap, a teddy bear, and other essentials for newborns. The family will also receive a copy of “The Real Mother Goose” nursery rhymes and song book and tickets to the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center courtesy of Kay Savage Browning Miniatures.
