Jamestown Regional Medical Center reports two June 11 births

Jamestown Regional Medical Center welcomed two babies born June 11, a 7-pound boy to Kristi and Jason Anderson of Jamestown and a 7-pound, 9-ounce girl to Tyler and April Hoggarth of Carrington. The brief notices carried more than names and weights: they linked one young family to Jamestown and another to Foster County, showing how the hospital serves both city and rural parents across Stutsman County and the surrounding region.

At JRMC, those arrivals fit into a broader family-centered program built around the Family BirthPlace, which says it provides support, education and high-quality birthing services through pregnancy, delivery and the hospital stay that follows. The hospital also offers free Birthplace Classes for families delivering there, covering labor planning, pain-relief options, postpartum expectations, early infant care and a tour of the Family BirthPlace. Its nursery page, one of the most visited parts of the hospital website, features the latest newborns and lets families search babies by name or by month and year for up to a year.

The notice also lands in a state where maternity access remains a serious issue. March of Dimes said North Dakota had the highest share of maternity care deserts in the nation in 2024, at 73.6 percent, and defines those deserts as counties without a hospital or birth center offering obstetric care and without obstetric clinicians. JRMC has said Stutsman County has avoided that label because of the hospital’s independence and its Family BirthPlace, which the hospital says has earned a 2024 Women’s Choice Award for Best Obstetrics, Blue Distinction recognition and satisfaction scores from new moms in the 99th percentile. For families in Jamestown, Carrington and the communities in between, each birth notice marks more than a medical event. It reflects a local institution helping keep new life close to home.
