For the Delehoy family, UCHealth Poudre Valley Hospital is more than a hospital; it’s part of their story.
For nearly a century, the northern Colorado family has welcomed new life within its walls, beginning in 1939 when Marie and Victor Delehoy delivered their first child there. Since then, four generations have followed, with 12 babies born at Poudre Valley Hospital, including the newest addition, Adeline Martin, in May of this year.
“It’s very meaningful to bring my children into the world in the same place as my great-grandparents, grandparents and parents,” said Adeline’s mother, Kirsten Martin.
The family says their connection to the hospital is about more than tradition. It’s about trust, quality care and a sense of home. Kirsten’s sister, Kelsey, also delivered her children at Poudre Valley Hospital, and their mother, Karen, spent decades working there as a nurse. “It’s not just a hospital,” Kirsten added. “It’s part of my family’s history.”
As Poudre Valley Hospital turns 100, the Delehoy family celebrates four generations of babies who have been born there.
