Welcome Heidi Jane, our New Year Baby for 2024

First baby born at OCAHS in the new year!

We are so excited to announce the birth of the first baby to enter the world here at Orange City Area Health System in 2024!

Heidi Jane was born January 2 at 6:17pm, weighing 7lbs 8oz and measuring 20 inches. Parents Rachel and John Hofland from Hartley — and big brother JJ — welcomed their precious little girl … and allowed us to share the news!

The family was presented with some goodies/gifts from our Gift Garden and from Orange City Chamber members.

Congratulations to this growing family, and thank you to all the parents in this region who continue to trust us for a lifetime of care.
