10,000th Baby Born at Maple Grove Hospital

It's official.

10,000 babies have been born at the Maple Grove Hospital.

The 10,000th baby, Landon Robert Wold of Monticello, was born to Jessica and Nate Wold at 6:59 p.m. on May 7, 2013. Weighing 6 pounds 15 ounces, Landon was delivered by Dr. Lisa Shakerin of Oakdale OB/GYN and nurse Anita, according to Maple Grove Hospital.

The hospital, which opened about three years ago, had not been projecting to see delivery volumes exceeding 10,000 until early 2017.

“The attraction to Maple Grove Hospital has been overwhelmingly positive. We have more than 50 OB/GYN providers delivering babies, and parents choosing to come to Maple Grove Hospital from as far as Brainerd, Willmar and cities in Wisconsin”, stated Linda Engdahl, Director of Family Care Services. “Our approach to how we deliver care and the atmosphere we provide parents in a delivery setting are attracting patients to choose to deliver at Maple Grove Hospital."

In 2012, Maple Grove Hospital had the second highest delivery volume in the state, according to the hospital. 

To honor the 10,000 babies delivered, Maple Grove Hospital will be hosting a Birthday Open House 2-5 p.m. Saturday, May 11. The event will include a variety of kid-friendly activities such as live music, face painting, a photo booth and more.
