Jefferson Washington Township Hospital greeted its first baby of 2024 on New Year’s Day. Victoria and Chris Lacher, of Sewell, welcomed little Cora Jane at 12:41 p.m. on Jan. 1, according to the hospital.
The baby weighed 7 pounds, 2 ounces, and is 19 ½ long. And like her parents and three-year-old brother, little Cora Jane has a cleft chin.
Jefferson is also celebrating a major milestone this year. The health system and university turn 200 this year and will celebrate its bicentennial throughout 2024. Happy birthday to all the region’s New Year’s babies and Happy Birthday Jefferson.
