Happy new year: First baby welcomed
Cyril Russell
McPherson Hospital announced this week McPherson’s first baby for 2021.
Piper Naomi Kaufmann, daughter of Audrey and Jordan Kaufmann of McPherson, was born Sunday, January 3 at 12:32 a.m., just missing her due date by 32 minutes. The delivering physician was Dr. Alicia Chennell.
Piper has an 18 month old brother Jack, also born at McPherson Hospital in June of 2019. Audrey said, “We had such a great experience with Jack, it was easy for us to come back here for our daughter. All the nurses take such excellent care of us.”
Piper and Jack come from a long line of family members from both sides who were born at McPherson Hospital. In fact, new year babies also run in the family. Two of Jordan’s sisters had new year babies, one at McPherson Hospital in 2014 and another in 2016 in Harvey County.
