UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital welcomes the first baby born in 2023. Jimena Giselle Jimenez Alvarez was born at 12:07am and is the first baby born across the UCHealth system and is likely one of the first born in Colorado in the new year.
Jimena is the daughter of Jessica Alvarez and Eduardo Jimenez from Aurora. This is the couple’s first baby. Jimena made her grand entrance into the world more than a month early weighing 4 pounds, 4 ounces. Both mom and baby are doing well.
“We never thought she would be born in January, let alone right at the beginning of 2023. It was a big surprise,” said Jessica Alvarez.
UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital delivers more than 3,500 babies every year—that’s about 300 births a month, or about 10 births a day.
