Cartersville, Ga. (Jan. 3, 2026) – Piedmont Cartersville Medical Center is delighted to welcome the first announced baby arrival of the new year! This cherished milestone marks a joyful start to 2026 for our community and team members, who are honored to share in such a special occasion.
While the family of the first official baby born at Piedmont Cartersville in 2026 chose to keep their birth private, we are thrilled to celebrate a participating family who graciously allowed us to share their story. Their newborn represents the first family to join in commemorating this annual tradition.
Baby Presley Nicole Marshall was born to Kaitlyn Marshall and Kyle Gossett on January 3, 2026, at 10:31 a.m. Both mother and baby are healthy and doing well.
“Welcoming new life into the world is always a privilege,” said Michelle Anderson, Clinical Manager of Piedmont Cartersville Labor & Delivery. “We are grateful to the families who trust Piedmont Cartersville with their care and proud to be part of these meaningful moments.”
Piedmont Cartersville’s Labor and Delivery team remains committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care for mothers, babies, and families throughout North Georgia.
