Here we are, beginning a new year at Edwards County Medical Center.  Looking back at 2017, I can’t help but feel we were very blessed by the regeneration of trust and support from our community.  As we witnessed this commitment from you, we smiled, rolled up our sleeves and got busy making a few commitments back to you. 

We promised to provide continued quality care you could trust and expect, and we have. We promised to start bringing in more specialty services so you could receive specialized services in the comfort of your home community, and keep you off the road a bit, and we did so by tripling our offering of specialty services…and we are going to build on that again in 2018 with the growth of telemedicine services. We upgraded equipment in Nursing, EMS, Lab, Radiology, Rehab Services, and in our Wellness Center, all to continue to improve the quality of care we provide and have worked to earn your trust. We’ve added Kinsley Health Clinic to our team, bringing yet again a more unified and consistent healthcare system to our county.

In 2018, we aren’t slowing down in our promise to continue to grow and meet the health and wellness needs of our community. We plan to work hard to eliminate barriers to healthcare for all of our Edwards County residents and visitors. We are committed to growing our relationship with Pratt Regional Medical Center, and continue unifying access to primary healthcare in Edwards County. The employees of ECMC will continue to grow their presence in the community through serving in various volunteer roles. We are committed to continue updating our equipment and patient care resources. And finally, we will do all of this with you and because of you. Neighbors caring for neighbors, it’s what we do best.
