Please Join Us in Celebrating the First Baby of 2026, Suigeneris!
The new year began with a joyful milestone at Harbor Regional Health as the first baby of 2026 arrived on January 1st at 8:34 a.m.

Proud parents Michelle Hobbs and Mario Garcia welcomed a healthy baby boy named Suigeneris into the world. He weighed 6 pounds, 5 ounces and measured 19 inches long at birth, marking a memorable start to the year for both the family and the Harbor Regional Health Family Birth Center team.

For Michelle and Mario, choosing where to deliver was an easy decision. Although they live in Bremerton, more than 100 miles away, they made the trip to Harbor Regional Health Community Hospital to remain under the care of Nick Hallak, MD, a physician they trust and value. Dr. Hallak practices with HRH OB/GYN and Family Medicine in Hoquiam.

“The experience was wonderful, I had the best time here,” Michelle shared. “The staff was extremely helpful and friendly.”

For the Family Birth Center team, the arrival of the first baby of the year is a moment filled with excitement and anticipation.

“This is one of our favorite times of the year,” said Lisha Schnoor, MSN, RNC-OB, Family Birth Center Director. “There’s always so much excitement leading up to that first birth, wondering when it will happen and who it will be. Welcoming the first baby of the year is a special tradition for our team, and it’s a wonderful way to begin the year focused on new life, family, and the care we’re so proud to provide.”

In celebration of the milestone, Suigeneris and his family were presented with a gift basket made possible through generous community support. Harbor Regional Health extends its sincere thanks to Aberdeen Walmart for donating items for the basket, as well as to John Eiland, DO, who works closely with Dr. Hallak, for his generous contribution.

Harbor Regional Health is honored to share in this special moment with Michelle, Mario, and baby Suigeneris, and congratulates them on the newest addition to their family as they begin the year together.

Please Join Us in Celebrating Rusty Merkel, Nutrition Dept., the Beacon Award recipient for January 2026!

Dorothy “Rusty” goes above average to serve all of our patients and staff with respect and compassion. It must be all of her years in food service and management experience before she arrived here. She can handle stressful situations with grace and kindness. She is always helping others and filling in when staff calls out. Teamwork is her forte! She is pleasant and calming plus she makes delicious food. Rusty deserves to be acknowledged for her hard work. What a great hire!

Brandy Bassett
Rusty is a breath of Sunshine and heaven mixed together. She will not leave any job unfinished. When she finishes her duties, she goes and helps everyone else. She’s not afraid to take on any task and learn new things. She’s done this kind of work before so she’s very skilled at all she does. She’s always picking up shifts at the last minute – for call outs SHE’S JUST A FABULOUS LADY & WORKER. We need more like her!!

Juanita Catron
She is a great all around person. She comes in when called and doesn’t complain. Willing to switch shifts and learn any position. Just a fun person to be around.

And from your Supervisor:
Rusty arrives each day with a smile and a kind work for everyone she meets. She is the cavalry most days she’s here. She always asks if anyone needs a hand or just joins in for any task. She almost always covers for any shift needing coverage and always goes above and beyond to complete each task. Rusty has trained for every job in the department & willing to cover extra shifts. I cannot say enough about how she has become such an important part of our day to day success. Patients and staff both love her. She is a ray of sunshine & relief on stressful days. As a fellow staff member, I really appreciate everything she brings to each day we work together, and am super glad she chose to work with us!

Rusty will be put into the running for our 2026 Lighting the Way Legend Award. Thank you for lighting the way and congratulations!

We are proud to share that Harbor Regional Health’s Family Birth Center has been recognized as a Center of Excellence for Perinatal Substance Use by the Washington State Department of Health, Washington State Hospital Association, and Washington State Health Care Authority.

This designation reflects years of intentional, compassionate work by our Family Birth Center team to provide trauma-informed, family-centered care for pregnant and postpartum people affected by substance use. It recognizes a commitment to reducing stigma, building trust, and ensuring every parent feels welcomed, respected, and supported during one of the most meaningful moments of their lives.

“Our team has the privilege of walking alongside families as they bring new life into the world,” said Lisha Schnoor, MSN, RNC-OB, Director of the Family Birth Center. “No matter the challenges parents may be facing, they deserve care that is safe, compassionate, and grounded in dignity.”

This work has also gained statewide attention. Because of Harbor Regional Health’s leadership in opioid harm prevention and perinatal care, Schnoor was recently invited to speak at a Washington State Hospital Association meeting, sharing our approach to universal Narcan dispensation, standardized screening, and keeping families supported and together whenever possible.

As one of the few remaining labor and delivery units in Western Washington, and with the next closest maternity hospital more than an hour away, this recognition underscores the essential role our Family Birth Center plays for families across our region.

We are grateful to our incredible team and to the families who trust us with their care.
