In our vibrant town of Williston, there is a ton of evidence showing our areas of wealth. One thing that comes up time and time again as a local radio DJ doing morning interviews is how our community's vibrancy is best described by the busy halls of our schools and the maternity ward at our local hospital. I recently spoke with Marcia Benway, a representative from CHI St. Alexius Health in Williston, to learn more about this beating heart of our community and to collect information about the number of infants born in 2023.

The steady rhythm of newborn arrivals signifies more than just demographic data; it reflects the economic stability, healthcare accessibility, and the welcoming environment that Williston provides for its residents. It is a tangible expression of the community's growth and resilience, encapsulating the optimism and promise that new beginnings bring.

As we celebrate the arrival of 617 (so far) bundles of joy in 2023, we also celebrate the prosperity and vibrancy of Williston, North Dakota. This robust indicator of community well-being reaffirms the town's commitment to fostering a nurturing environment for families and underscores the positive trajectory of this resilient and flourishing region.
