Union County hospitals list newborns delivered Feb. 4, 2026

Regional hospital roundups published Feb. 4 provide a snapshot of newborns delivered at hospitals that serve Union County and nearby communities, listing 14 babies born in December 2025 and January 2026. The East Oregonian’s Feb. 4, 2026 births roundup names multiple deliveries at CHI St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton and Grande Ronde Hospital in La Grande, while the Columbia Gorge News reported additional details on Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital’s Jan. 1 birth.

CHI St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton is listed in the East Oregonian roundup with Blakely Elizabeth Johnston, a girl born Jan. 24 to Candice Marie Johnston and David Scott Johnston of Pendleton, and Aiden Michael Montee, a boy born Jan. 29 to Kalana Christina Engel and Michael Wayne Montee of Pendleton. An earlier December entry listed Brooke Annelise Qualls, a girl born Dec. 10 to Whitney Kristine Qualls and Kyle Tanner Qualls of Hermiston.

Grande Ronde Hospital in La Grande accounted for several births in the East Oregonian records. Stetson William James Morrissey, a boy born Jan. 19 to Shanowa Faith Hope Whiteman and Brent William Morrissey of La Grande, and Piper Elizabeth Coffman, a girl born Jan. 20 to Amanda Courtois Coffman and Seth Peter Coffman of La Grande, appear in the Jan. 28 roundup. Orvilla RaeLynn Chaney, a girl born Jan. 24 to Kendra Rose Chaney and Neil John Chaney of Baker City, and later Jan. 29 and Jan. 30 entries include Mack Miah Kildow, a boy born Jan. 29 to Sharon Noel Gardner and Joshua James Kildow of Union, plus Cassaundra Ryan Farnsworth, a girl born Jan. 30 to Madison Rachelle Farnsworth and Jacob Ross Farnsworth of La Grande, and Cavan Arthur Warren, a boy born Jan. 30 to Marilyn Joyce Scott and Cameron James Warren of Union. December entries at Grande Ronde list Rocco Sandro Basaldua and Randy Wayne Williams, both born Dec. 10.

Good Shepherd Medical Center in Hermiston is recorded with Tiago Jordan Castro, a boy born Dec. 6 to Marissa Castro and Taylor Castro of Hermiston. The La Grande Observer’s Dec. 12, 2025 page lists Jackson Arrow Stroud, a boy born to Robin Stroud and Bo Stroud of Island City; the item does not show an explicit birth date in the snippet provided. Columbia Gorge News reported Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital’s “first baby of 2026,” Yulieth Marquina Ortiz, born Jan. 1 at 12:29 p.m., weighing 6 pounds, 7 ounces and measuring 19 inches; parents are Alondra Ortiz-Guzman and Uriel Marquina-Abarca of Bingen, and Dr. Winkler and nurse Kelly Porter are named as delivery staff.

For local readers, these announcements matter beyond names and dates. Fourteen infants in recent regional roundups translate into incremental demand for pediatric care, early childhood services and school planning in Union County towns such as La Grande and Union. In small communities, several births can influence short-term staffing needs at labor and delivery units and longer-term projections for preschool and kindergarten enrollment. Reported by the East Oregonian and Columbia Gorge News, these entries also point to gaps in publicly posted metrics - birth times, weights and attending staff are not consistently listed across all entries - which health reporters and planners may verify with hospital public affairs offices.
