As Hurricane Milton made landfall and swept across Florida, one of the state’s major hospital systems welcomed 67 babies into the world.
AdventHealth for Women, which offers women’s health care services at locations across Central Florida, staffed hundreds of team members, including nurses, physicians and specialists, during the height of the hurricane.
The staff worked through the night to care for delivering parents and their little ones, according to the hospital.
