Mental health conditions are common, and support is available right here in our community. ECMC is proud to partner with local providers who help support the emotional and mental well-being of individuals and families across Ellsworth County. 💙

🍫🚑 Over the past couple weeks, we’ve had the opportunity to celebrate the incredible people who help care for our communities every day.

Last week during Hospital Week, our ECMC team enjoyed a little Wonka-inspired fun with themed activities, treats, games, “Imagination Stations,” and even a pie-in-the-face fundraiser benefiting our Employee Committee. More importantly, it gave us a chance to celebrate the teamwork, compassion, and positivity that make ECMC such a special place. 💙

This week during EMS Week, we wanted to give a shoutout to our favorite EMS professionals at Ellsworth County EMS. Thank you for the care, dedication, and partnership your crew provides throughout our communities. We hope you all enjoy the treats and have felt truly celebrated this week. 🎉

We are grateful for every person — both inside and outside our walls — who helps improve lives every day.
