25 Years. Countless Stories. 💙

Today, we’re sharing the perspective of someone who experienced Courage Cottage from the inside. Marcia spent time as a Courage Cottage employee and saw firsthand the care and connection that make it such a special place.

This is the heart of Courage Cottage.It’s recognizing that every resident is an individual, with their own needs, preferences and story. It’s making time for one-on-one care and creating relationships that go beyond simply providing assistance.

And, as Marcia so beautifully put it, residents get to be like family. 💙For 25 years, that personal connection has been at the heart of Courage Cottage.

25 years of Compassion. Community. Care.

👋 Meet Dr. Sam Bloomsburg!

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Sam Bloomsburg, General Surgeon, to SCMC!
Dr. Bloomsburg is now seeing patients at the Morris Hospital & Clinic, bringing expanded surgical care closer to home.

But before you meet him in the clinic, we thought we'd help you get to know the person behind the white coat.

Dr. Bloomsburg chose a career in surgery because he enjoys helping people, the fascinating complexity of the human body — and the opportunity to work with both his hands and his brain.

And when he's not caring for patients, you'll find him enjoying time with his family, reading, gardening, playing guitar, or getting outside and spending time at the lake. He's also a self-described fan of small-town life — so we're pretty happy he found his way to Morris. 😊

Now accepting patients. 📞 320-589-7600

Learn more about Dr. Bloomsburg and the surgical care he provides:

Expert surgical care. Closer to home.
🩵Here for you. Here for your family. Here at home.

25 Years. Countless Stories. 💙

When Jo Schneider suffered a fall at home at the age of 100, her family knew she could no longer remain there. They were blessed to find a new home for her at Courage Cottage...and what they found was more than a place for her to receive care.

💙 Read the Schneider Family full story & more from 25 years of Courage Cottage:

This is the heart of Courage Cottage. It’s helping residents continue to be active and engaged. It’s discovering the things that make them smile—and letting them share the things they know and love. And sometimes, it’s learning how to make apple crisp the right way. 🍎

It’s also about the families. Creating a place where loved ones feel welcomed, comfortable and part of the Courage Cottage family, too. Because care is important. But being known, valued and loved makes all the difference. 💙

25 years of Compassion. Community. Care.
