Good morning, Jupiter. Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 2nd of January.

HEALTH NEWS

  • At St. Mary’s Medical Center in Palm Beach County, Nancy and Romeo welcomed their first baby, Eliam Caleb, just six minutes past midnight on Jan. 1, 2026. The newborn weighed 6 pounds 13 ounces and measured 20 inches, marking a special start to the new year.  WPBF
  • Tenet Healthcare and Cigna finalized a contract that preserved network access for Cigna members at Palm Beach Health Network and avoided higher costs for nonemergency services after January 1, 2026. The deal maintained access to key facilities including two Level I trauma centers and a children’s hospital.  CBS12 News
  • Flu cases and emergency visits are rising in Palm Beach, St. Lucie and Indian River counties as the Subclade-k variant spreads; state health officials urge residents to get their annual vaccine to reduce severe illness (shots require two weeks to work).  WPBF

REAL ESTATE NEWS
