The new year 2025 was off to a sweet start at the Beaufort Memorial Collins Birthing Center, as the hospital welcomed its first baby of the new year. Coming into the world at 1:53 a.m., and at 8 pounds was Robert Medina, born to Angela Licona and Roberto Medina of Hilton Head Island. Baby Robert’s New Year’s hat and sash were crocheted by Merick Murdaugh and Christy Sterling, both Beaufort Memorial surgical technicians. Photos courtesy of Charlotte Berkeley.
New Year’s baby!
