Baby Theodore arrived at USC Verdugo Hills Hospital on New Year’s Day at 3:42 a.m. to parents Andy and Annie. This was an extra special delivery for staff as Annie is also an ophthalmologist with the USC Roski Eye Institute.

USC-VHH gifted the family with a basket of supplies and services donated by the Crescenta Valley Chamber of Commerce. Included in the basket was a handmade blanket made by one of the hospital’s nurses Mandi Rub, RN. For the past 30 years Rub has created a blanket for the first baby of the New Year at USC-VHH.
