History
In 1992, Sharp Mary Birch opened as the largest and most extensive free-standing center for women's health in Southern California.[1]
In December 2018, the world's smallest surviving baby was born at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns. Born at only 8.6 ounces (245 grams), "Saybie" weighed only as much as a large apple. After a nearly five-month-long stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, she was discharged home as a healthy 5-pound infant.[2][3]
