Harris hospital welcomes first 2019 baby

Harris Regional Hospital is ringing in 2019 with the year’s first bundle of joy. Weighing 8 pounds and measuring 19.5 inches, Owen Smith was born to Anna and Brett Smith, Monday, Jan. 1, at 5:30 a.m.

“We were so excited to meet Owen.” said mom, Anna. “The physicians, nurses and staff at Harris Regional Hospital all helped to make this such a special and memorable experience for us as we welcomed our sixth child into the world. The family approach was so appreciated and we are grateful that we understood what was going on every stop of the way.” 

The New Generations Family Birthing Center at Harris Regional Hospital offers a state-of-the-art labor and delivery unit, newly completed mother/baby rooms, infant level II nursery and caesarean suite that was built to better accommodate expecting mothers and their families.
