The Heartbeat of Williston ND: 634 New Beginnings in 2024

In 2025, our vibrant town of Williston continues to showcase its wealth of community spirit and growth. One of the most telling signs of this vibrancy is reflected in the bustling halls of our schools and the maternity ward at CHI St. Alexius Health. As a local radio DJ, I frequently discuss the heartbeat of our community during morning interviews, and nothing exemplifies it more than the birth of our area's newest residents.

I recently caught up with Marcia Benway from CHI St. Alexius Health in Williston to dive into the details of this vital part of our community. She shared some illuminating statistics about the number of infants born in 2024, painting a picture of joy and growth.
