Krista Hatley joked that North Florida Regional Medical Center’s new postpartum unit couldn’t be opening at a better time the hospital is expecting its largest number of deliveries ever in December as families prepare to welcome “quarantine babies.”
“It’s opening just in time,” said Hatley, the vice president of women and children services at North Florida.
The hospital’s new 30-bed postpartum and 10-bed antepartum unit, which opens this month, is one of several units opening over the next several months on three new floors at the hospital’s south tower.
