BETHESDA, Md. Jan. 4 -- Walter Reed National Military Medical Center proudly announces the birth of Azarias Navarro, the first baby born in the hospital in 2024. In a time-honored tradition, Walter Reed director U.S. Navy Capt. (Dr.) Melissa Austin presented a gift basket to the Navarro family to commemorate the milestone.
“On behalf of the Walter Reed family we want to welcome Azarias and celebrate his birth with you on this remarkable occasion,” said Austin, surrounded by her leadership team - who also came to express their well-wishes to the Navarro family.
Azarias was born at 9:00 a.m. on January 2nd and weighed seven pounds and three ounces. His mother, Angelina, beamed with joy at the new arrival while his father, Hector, a newly retired Marine Corps master gunnery sergeant, warmly gazed at his second son - looking forward to introducing the couple’s newborn to the rest of the family.
