Gen Xers, Millenials, Gen Z, Generation Alpha- but could Baby Boomers be making a comeback?
Maybe. If we believe the birthing statistics at Almonte General Hospital for the month of March, where there were 33 babies born, almost double the number born last March!
“It’s a baby boom for our unit!”, according to Dr. Melanie Fortune of the Family Medicine Obstetrics team. “It is a pretty special time.”
It’s a good thing Almonte General Hospital is well-equipped with five private postpartum rooms, each with a washroom and shower, two labour and delivery rooms, showers and an operating room for cesarean sections.
AGH is delivery headquaters for Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, West Carleton Ward and large portions of Renfrew County- and it would seem lots of parents had the same ideas simultaneously.
Service includes 4/7 coverage by an obstetrician, physician devoted to newborn care and pain management services by Anesthetists.
