Island Hospital saw a record number of babies delivered in 2020, with 485 babies were delivered, 60 more than 2019.

The clinic at NAS Whidbey Naval Air Station is no longer delivering babies, which helped lead to the record number, said Tonja Dunton, director of the hospital’s Thomas P. Brooks Birth Center. The previous highest year was in 2017, when the Navy base clinic was shut down for a few months for renovation.
