ST. CROIX FALLS – Travis and Bridget Hanson, Turtle Lake, had something very special to celebrate during the first week of the New Year: the birth of their daughter, Kendall Marie Hanson. Dr. Patrick Hedlund delivered her on Jan. 4, at 1:53 p.m. Kendall is the first baby born at SCRMC in 2011. Kendall weighed 7 lbs., 14 oz. and measured 20 inches long at birth. The baby’s mother, Bridget, is an employee of SCRMC and works in the operating room of the Lloyd Olson Surgery Center. “This little girl is our second daughter born at St. Croix Regional,” said Bridget. “Our physician, Dr. Pat Hedlund, and Bonnie Springer, our OB nurse, were very helpful during labor and delivery. Our birth suite is lovely, and the care we received during and after the birth was also thoughtful. Everyone was able to answer all our questions and provide help when
needed while still meeting our wishes for privacy. We received excellent care and really appreciated the little extras, like the special meal and birthday cake we enjoyed to celebrate Kendall’s birth.” As parents of the first child born in 2011 at St. Croix Regional Medical Center, the proud and happy couple received a gift of a monogrammed pastel baby swaddle from the medical center, a $50 gift basket for Mom and baby for the SCRMC Volunteer Partners Gift Shop; a $25 savings bond from Eagle Valley Bank; a gift certificate for a free sitting and an 8 x 10 baby photo from Nygren Studios; a $50 gift certificate from MarketPlace Foods; a gift of flowers in a planter from Uptown Floral, a $50 Visa card and $50 savings bond from The RiverBank; a six-month subscription to The Leader, and a $50 Wal-Mart gift certificate. - submitted

New governor to continue review process
MADISON – Gov. Scott Walker announced this week that he was continuing the previous administration’s Central Position Review process for all state agency staffing actions. Under the process, all new hires must be approved by Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch and only the most critical positions will be approved.
“Continuing this practice is about a return to frugality in state government,” Walker said. “As we look to right-size state government, Secretary Huebsch will ensure that we are able to fulfill our core missions while making government smaller and more efficient.” - from the office of Gov. Walker
