Vaughan, ON (January 1, 2023) — Today, Mackenzie Health welcomed its first baby of 2023 at Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital – Rahman, born at 1:53 a.m., weighing 6 lbs, 15 oz. This is the second baby for proud parents Sara and Esmatullah from Brampton.
The Woman and Child program at Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital offers a one-stop suite of services accessible by direct elevator to support women and children through some of life’s most poignant moments – from pregnancy and delivery to neonatal and pediatric care.
Mackenzie Health relocated its Woman and Child program to Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital from Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital in June 2021 to provide a full range of services for mothers and children conveniently located on one floor accessible by a direct elevator. Since that time, more than 5,300 babies have been delivered.
