Welcome, baby Ella!

Ella Lynn was the first baby born at Methodist Hospital in 2026, arriving just 12 minutes after midnight on New Year’s Day. She weighed 7 pounds, 13 ounces and is welcomed by three big brothers as well as her parents Jozef and Elinor. As part of a Slovak-American family, Ella’s nickname will be “Elka.”

Her family shares of the care team, “We delivered all of our children at Methodist, and every time, it was wonderful. The nurses are so supportive and welcoming, and the doctors are pros.”

In 2025, we welcomed more than 2,500 babies in the Methodist Hospital Birth Center, and it’s our privilege to be part of each family’s care, experience and birth story. Along with baby Ella, we’re looking forward to meeting all of our 2026 babies in the year ahead.

Happy New Year, and congratulations to this beautiful family!

Abraham Westlund has been playing music for as long as he can remember.

At Methodist, he’s known not only for drawing blood but for lifting spirits — playing piano and singing during his breaks.

He took his talents to a bigger stage recently, performing at the halftime of a Minnesota Vikings’ game.

In front of tens of thousands of fans, Abraham, along with colleagues from our cancer care program and Methodist by his side, he performed an original song while the team honored children who’ve faced cancer.

“I’m just blown away by the power of music and healing,” Abraham said. “It brings everybody together in so many ways. I’m blessed to get to honor patients and what they’re going through; it’s phenomenal.”

The Vikings invited Abraham to perform after seeing a Fox 9 story about the impact his work and music have on colleagues and patients. And while the cheers from fans and compliments from players were unforgettable, Abraham says the highlight was meeting the kids honored during the ceremony.

“People who go through these challenges are so strong,” he said. “Those kids have so much hope, and I’m grateful that I could honor that hope with music.”

Abraham’s music reflects what it means to be a partner for good—using talent and compassion to bring healing and hope wherever it’s needed most.
