The birth of Corbin William Thomas in December at Rumford Hospital marked Dr. John Kroger’s six hundredth delivery. To make the moment even more special, 24 years prior he had also delivered Thomas’ mother, Sidney Yahn.
“I’ve always found delivering babies to be one of the most rewarding, exciting and enjoyable experiences as a family physician. The simple idea that I’ve now begun to deliver babies of young women who I delivered is a cause for pause as it indicates this is something I’ve been doing for a long time. To have the milestone six hundredth delivery be to a young woman whom I’ve known since the moment I handed her to her mother when she was born makes it even more rewarding,” said Kroger.
