Babies are rarely born in Grand County due to the population, the lack of neonatal facilities and a full-time OBGYN. The last baby born in the county was in spring of 2010, when paramedics delivered a baby in the ambulance on Highway 9 at mile marker 128 en-route to Summit County. According to Grand County EMS, about one baby per-year is born here, either in a medical facility, in an ambulance, or in one instance a few years ago, on the woman's bathroom floor of the Winter Park McDonald's.
