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.
Sincerely,
Jimmie Hansel, PhD, CEO
