EDMONDS — Swedish/Edmonds is celebrating the 60,000th baby born at its hospital.
Baby Zoë was born to Sarah and James Wagner, of Lynnwood, on April 8.
Zoë weighed 6 pounds, 15 ounces at birth and was delivered by Dr. Randolph Bourne.
“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,” said Joyce Miller, manager of the Childbirth Center at Swedish/Edmonds.
The hospital, formerly known as Stevens Hospital, opened in 1964. Seattle-based Swedish Health Services took over management of the hospital last year.
The hospital just completed a $500,000 upgrade on the 13 rooms in its birthing center earlier this month, hospital spokesman Steve Kaiser said.
