Babies delivered at South Georgia Medical Center’s Birthplace during the week of Christmas will receive a little extra attention donning their homemade stockings and crocheted Santa hats. Meet Robin, son of William and Jordan Weber, who was born at SGMC on Dec. 21, 2020.
The 7lb 2oz baby boy snoozes in his Christmas gift, provided by the SGMC Volunteer Auxiliary. For decades the Auxiliary has dedicated their time to making these stockings and hats, and this year is no exception.
The tradition has become one new parents cherish for years to come, often keeping the stockings long after their baby is grown.
SGMC delivers more than 2,100 babies per year with 12 obstetricians on staff and has the area’s only Level IIB Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with 24/7 coverage from board certified neonatologists to provide a higher level of care for babies born prematurely.
Obstetricians on staff include Drs. Joe Clifton, Ellen Courson, Alexander Culbreth, Danielle McFarland, John Sharon, Robert Stark, Roy Swindle, Jerthitia Taylor, Samuel Taylor, Pamela Temples, Bolan Woodward, and Nikki Yarbrough. Neonatalogists include Drs. Venkatesan Gorantla and Corne Maydell.
