While most stockings are hung by the chimney with care, ours are filled with the most precious gifts — little bundles of joy welcomed this holiday season at our Family Birth Center at Adventist Health Ukiah Valley!

Baby Lilah is heading home snuggled in a special stocking, thanks to a decades-long tradition led by our labor and delivery team. Long-time nurse Teresa Keffeler lovingly sews the stockings, while Sarah Davis, OB Tech, and Jacqueline Graumann, RN, craft the festive hats. It’s a tradition our nurses look forward to every year — and one that brings joy to families and caregivers alike.

We share a lot during the holidays: joy, gifts, laughter, fun. But it can be hard to share our struggles, which can include depression and anxiety for many of us.
