Ranch delivers 5,000th baby

Even at his birth, Sebastian Lemke was already making headlines.

Baby Sebastian, born to Lakewood Ranch residents Arne and Heather Lemke on May 24, 2010, became the 5,000th baby delivered at the Women’s Center at Lakewood Ranch Medical Center.

Heather Lemke says she enjoyed her time at the Ranch hospital.

“It was really great being in the same room with the baby the whole time. You don’t have that fear of your baby being taken away.” Private birthing suites are one of many perks offered to parents at the Ranch.

Since the birth, Heather and Sebastian have returned to the hospital for its Little Nippers class.
