New Year, New Baby!
Please join us in welcoming the first baby born in 2026 at West Parry Sound Health Centre!
PARRY SOUND, 02 January 2026 – West Parry Sound Health Centre (WPSHC) is delighted to announce the birth of the first baby born at WPSHC in 2026. At 10:51 P.M on 02 Jan, WPSHC welcomed Izzy Belle, a healthy baby girl weighing six pounds and eight ounces.
Izzy was born to proud parents Rhea and Patrick. This is a particularly special milestone, as Patrick is a highly valued employee here at WPSHC.
This first arrival of 2026 was made possible thanks to the care, compassion and expertise of our Obstetrics, Labour and Delivery team.
