Musical birth announcements


You may notice some new musical sounds overhead on Main Campus these days! Each time a baby is born in our Childbirth Center a musical combo of “Happy Birthday” and “Brahm’s Lullaby” plays overhead during visiting hours until 8:30 p.m. Mark Schlichting from the Bellingham High School Music Department provided the recording.

“I have had great feedback since the implementation of our baby chimes,” said Cindy Preston, Director of Women’s and Children’s Services. “One employee told me that it’s very refreshing to be reminded of the wonderful things that happen everyday in our hospital…especially for those who work in areas that face trauma and tragedy routinely.”
