From the parents: “The OB staff made the labor, delivery, and postpartum experience incredibly positive. Nursing staff were attentive, but also gave space for mom and baby to bond and for mom to learn to independently care for baby. All nursing staff were kind, patient, and a wealth of information. OB and pediatric practitioners were also very kind, attentive, and consistently shared helpful information. The small, intimate size of the OB unit at MDIH made the overall patient experience very positive!”

MDI Hospital Welcomes First Baby of 2024

MDI Hospital welcomed the first baby of the new year on Sunday, January 14th. Baby Amelia was born to Shannon and Alan Simons of Bar Harbor, Maine. Baby measured 21in long and 7lbs 5oz.

Shannon is an employee of MDI Hospital, working as a Certified Medical Assistant at Cadillac Family Practice, so this birth is particularly exciting for the hospital.

The Simons Family added, “We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the phenomenal birthing experience we had under your care. The dedication and kindness of all the staff we encountered were truly exceptional. With Shannon being an employee of the hospital, this experience holds an extra special place in our hearts, knowing now firsthand the outstanding level of care and support provided to patients. Thank you for making this journey so memorable.”

For over 20 years, MDI Hospital has the beloved tradition of gifting a basket to the first baby born in the New Year filled with gifts courtesy of our friends across MDI and the Downeast region we serve. Thank you to all the local businesses, organizations, groups, and individuals who participated in donating generous gifts and carefully selected items for this year’s basket.
