In a Kansas City-area hospital, the arrival of a new life is now met not with clinical silence but with the gentle notes of a lullaby drifting through every corridor. Overland Park Regional Medical Center has chosen 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' as its shared announcement of birth — a sound that belongs not to medicine but to the oldest human rituals of welcome and wonder. In doing so, the hospital quietly asks whether institutions of healing might also become, in small and deliberate ways, institutions of joy.
