Last baby born in St. Vincent hails from Brooklyn
Tue, May 4, 2010
Tesla Wyeth Maue made history on April 20th.
He was the last baby to be born at St. Vincent Hospital, one of the cities oldest hospitals that closed its doors on April 30. Born to Joetta Maue of Carroll Gardens, baby Tesla was the last patient in the maternity ward weighing 7 pounds and 4 ounces.
Tesla’s arrival was a bit unexpected to the St. Vincent’s maternity ward. If not for his birth the hospital would have closed a week earlier. But after 26 hours of labor at home, Joetta, her husband and her midwife decided to head to the hospital for his birth.
Tesla was born by C-section. According to the Brooklyn Eagle both the mother and the baby are doing fine.
Congratulations to Joetta and Chad on the birth of Tesla Wyeth Maue — such JOY (and a bit of sadness in the closing of a great hospital) As the proud Great Uncle, I wish baby Tesla a long and healthy and happy life.
Congratulations to Joetta & Chad on the birth of baby Tesla.
