60,000th baby born at Swedish/Edmonds

The 60,000th baby born at Swedish/Edmonds, Zoë Wagner, is number one with her parents Sarah and James Wagner of Lynnwood.

Last week, Swedish/Edmonds delivered its 60,000th baby since the hospital opened 47 years ago as Stevens Hospital.

Baby Zoë and her parents, Sarah and James Wagner of Lynnwood, were presented a gift basket and $100 gift card by Mike Carter, senior vice president and chief administrative officer, Swedish/Edmonds.

“I was completely surprised,” said Sarah Wagner. “I’m so honored that my baby is the 60,000th born at the hospital.”

“This is our second time having a baby here,” says James Wagner. “And because the nurses and doctor took good care of us and our baby the first time, and we had such a good experience, we thought we’d come back.”

Zoë weighs 6 pounds, 15 ounces and was delivered by Randolph Bourne, MD, obstetrician and gynecologist, Sound Women’s Care.  

“Sixty thousand is a lot of babies when you stop and think about it – that’s nearly the combined populations of Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace,” says Joyce Miller, manager of the Childbirth Center at Swedish/Edmonds. Swedish/Edmonds Childbirth Center rooms were redesigned and completed in early April.  New tours of the Childbirth Center are available for expectant parents.
