BALDWIN, WI – Western Wisconsin Health (WWH) is thrilled to announce the arrival of Johan Max, the first baby of the New Year! Johan was born to proud parents Marijana and Michael at 5:52 a.m. on January 1, 2025. He weighed a healthy eight pounds, 15 ounces and measured 20 inches long.
To celebrate this joyous occasion, Baby Johan and his family were gifted a bag of essential newborn items from WWH, a $100 Visa gift card generously donated by the Western Wisconsin Health Auxiliary Volunteer group, and special goodies from the Family Resource Center St. Croix Valley.
This is the fourth child for Marijana and Michael, who reside in River Falls, Wisconsin, and the second born at WWH. Remarkably, Johan’s arrival marks the family’s second New Year’s Day Baby, as one of his older sisters shares the same January 1st birthday!
The proud parents expressed their gratitude, saying, “Thank you to the midwives and labor nurses at WWH—you are the best!”
Western Wisconsin Health extends its heartfelt congratulations to the family and is honored to have been part of this special moment. Here’s to a wonderful start to 2025 and to handsome baby Johan!
