CARTHAGE/MACOMB — Memorial Hospital is thrilled to announce the arrival of their first baby delivered in 2022. Teegan Rex was born on January 4th, 2022, weighing in at 7 pounds 6 ounces and measuring 19 inches tall.

Teegan Rex is the son of Victoria Moore and Dylan Hickey of Macomb, IL. When deciding where to deliver their first baby, Dylan and Victoria expressed what they most desired in a hospital.

Moore stated, “We knew we wanted to deliver Teegan in a small hospital where we would receive a personal touch. We are so glad that we chose Memorial Hospital. Teegan has been showered with love and attention and we are so grateful for the incredible staff here.”

Hickey added, “We were surprised that Teegan was the New Year’s baby here at Memorial, but we’re so excited and grateful.”

The staff at Memorial Hospital, Memorial Medical Clinics, and Hancock Village, all came together to individually donate items for Teegan and his family, to celebrate his arrival in the new year. Donated items included diapers, wipes, clothing, blankets, toys, gift cards, and more.

Memorial Hospital would like to formally congratulate the Moore-Hickey family on their new arrival. To learn more about Memorial’s Stork Stopp and other Obstetrics services, visit MHTLC.org.
