Calling All Alexandria Babies!

Are you an Alexandria baby? Were you, your children or grandchildren born at Inova Alexandria Hospital?

If so, Inova Alexandria Hospital invites you to come celebrate at the Alex Baby Reunion—a Mother’s Day Celebration from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 4.

The event will be held on the grounds just outside the hospital, rain or shine, and is the hospital’s “thank you” to the many moms who chose Inova Alexandria Hospital to share in one of the most important events in their lives—the birth of their child.

This is the first year the hospital has conducted the event, said hospital spokeswoman Allison Kenty. Also, the hospital recently celebrated its 140th anniversary.

“I think in light of Mother’s Day and the hospital anniversary, it’s a great way to bring the Alexandria community together and celebrate all the babies that were ever born at the Alexandria hospital,” Kenty said.

It’s a free day for the whole family and includes a light lunch, a free family photo session and kid-friendly activities including face painting, a magician and other entertainment.

The event will also feature “Alex babies” through submitted stories and photos. Submit your Alex Baby story and pictures to Facebook, email to socialmedia@inova.org or tag your Twitter or Instagram photos with #AlexBaby.
