Little Elijah Lancaster came into the world on January 1, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. at Wayne Memorial Hospital’s New Beginnings Birthing Suites. 

His mom, Dakota Lancaster of Honesdale, PA, says her first child weighed in at 6 lbs, 4 oz. 

Born with the help of nurse midwife Pat Konzman, CNM/Women’s Health, Elijah joins a big family! Dakota says her mom has 19 grandchildren, including Elijah – in other words, he has 18 cousins! 

The New Beginnings staff presented Dakota and Elijah with a basket of goodies acknowledging Elijah’s special status— “His First-ness!”  Congratulations Lancasters!
