Munson Healthcare Cadillac Hospital’s Birthing Center celebrated a joyful milestone early on January 2, 2026, by welcoming its first baby of the year. The newborn boy arrived at 4:44 a.m., marking a special moment for the hospital and the local community.
Community Spirit Celebrated with Gift Basket
The family, who has chosen to remain anonymous, received a warm welcome from the hospital staff. To commemorate the occasion, obstetric nurses prepared a celebratory gift basket filled with essential items for both the baby and the parents. The basket included baby blankets, onesies, toys, feeding supplies, and treats for the family, all generously donated or purchased by the nurses themselves.
According to Munson Healthcare, this tradition of providing a gift basket to the first family of the year has been a cherished practice at the Cadillac Hospital. It reflects the hospital’s commitment to supporting new parents and celebrating the arrival of new life within the community.
