Johnson Memorial Health did not have a birth on Jan. 1, but maternity unit employees expected a birth on Wednesday, said Jeff Dutton, Johnson Memorial Health marketing director.

That family will receive a gift bag from the Trafalgar Extension Homemakers.

A baby girl born at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday to a Franklin Township (Marion County) couple was the first baby born at Community Hospital South.
