7/3/2025
Dupont Hospital is proud to announce a significant milestone in its commitment to supporting growing families, having had a record- breaking 281 deliveries in June. That achievement marks the highest number of births in the hospital’s 24-year history and tops the previous all-time high of 272 deliveries that occurred in August of 2024. This peak in births underscores Dupont Hospital’s role as a leading birthing center in Northeast Indiana and Fort Wayne, providing services for expectant mothers and their newborns.
“This is a happy time for us, we love being a part of the community’s birth story. This is a reflection of trust and confidence the community has placed in us and our team's exceptional maternal and newborn care,” said Brent Parsons, chief executive officer of Dupont Hospital. “Our dedicated team of obstetricians, nurses, neonatologists and support staff have worked tirelessly to ensure every delivery was a positive and memorable experience.
“Each birth represents a new family beginning their journey and we are honored to be a part of such a special moment in their lives. We hope they continue to trust us with their care along the way. We are grateful for their support, which truly allows us to nurture the next generation,” said Sarah Lawrence, MSN, RN, and director of The Birthplace at Dupont Hospital.
Dupont Hospital’s maternity care starts with a birth navigator program and offers popular childbirth classes. They host a specialized level III perinatal care for high-risk mothers and infants as well as advanced fetal monitoring systems and a 33-bed neonatal intensive care unit - just in case. Postpartum and breastfeeding support are also available to expectant mothers so they can relax knowing they’ll be cared for every step of the way.
