Marshfield Clinic Health Systems

Just this past summer, Marshfield Clinic opened the Marshfield Medical Center-Minocqua.  The hospital has now delivered its 100th baby since opening it’s doors.

In a news release, Marshfield Clinic said Riley Mae was born at 9:06 a.m., on November 13th. She weighed 6 pounds 12 ounces, and was 19 inches long. Riley is the fourth child of her parents, Max Zimmerman and Josie Graefe of Lake Tomahawk, joining siblings Ella, Anna, and Daniel.

Hospital staff presented a gift basket to the family as part of the celebration.

The hospital's first baby was born on its opening day to patient care, June 15.

"There is no greater joy than the birth of a child," said Marshfield Medical Center-Minocqua Chief Administrative Officer Ty Erickson. "When we opened this hospital, we knew each birth was going to be a highlight for our staff and the community. We are proud to be part of the Lakeland area and provide care for our growing families."
