A pair of twins, Maddison and Maison, were born last week at Hudson Regional Hospital, the hospital in Secaucus that came under new ownership last year.
These are the first twins born at Hudson Regional since new owner Yan Moshe took over in January 2018. The hospital is eager to attract expectant mothers to deliver there; in January, they launched a series of free monthly childbirth classes.
Maddison and Maison are nicknamed “cupids,” as they arrived a week before Valentine’s Day. The infants and mother are doing fine today, two weeks later, a hospital spokeswoman said. She did not know how they were delivered, whether it was a vaginal birth or c-section.
The twins were born to parents who are Hudson Regional Hospital employees, Jaime Martinez, and fiancé Edyleidy Rojas. Martinez, the vice president of physician relations and Rojas, an administrative assistant, met while working at the hospital in 2018.
It is not unusual for hospitals to try to woo expectant mothers, as childbirth is quite costly and is usually fully reimbursed by health insurers.
