CENTRAL COAST, CA – February 22, 2022 – Today, 2/22/22, Marian Regional Medical Center (MRMC) is excited to announce that it welcomed a healthy set of twins on this palindrome date, meaning it can be read the same way backward and forward.

The second, named Leobardo, was also born at 12:29 and weighed in at five pounds and twelve ounces. The twin boys are the sixth and seventh babies for the family, who also have five children – the oldest is 17 and the youngest is three.
