We were absolutely thrilled and moved with the support from our community during today’s 90th Anniversary of Ellett Hospital. Thank you to all who came to celebrate with us. Today we had the pleasure of celebrating with old friends, such as former CEO Tom Hollis and former EMH provider Doctor Khan. We celebrated the amazing 90 year history and legacy of our hospital, from its start by Dr. Ellett through to today. We also honored two EMH Board members for 30+ years of service: Leroy Swopes and Donald Payton. Speeches by EMH Board Member Garrett Hawkins and EMH CEO Laura Smith highlighted the importance of local facilities like Ellett, where we do our utmost to combine quality medical care with unwavering compassion and dedication to our patients. Thank you again to all who came and thank you for allowing us to serve your healthcare needs for the past 90 years!

October is Month. Let's expand our efforts to educate and support individuals with ADHD.

ADHD Myths to Bust:
🧡Myth: ADHD isn't real. FACT: There are over 100,00 studies articles in science journals on ADHD. There are references to ADHD in medical texts going back to 1775.
🧡Myth: All children will eventually grow out of ADHD. FACT: Significant symptoms and impairments persist into adulthood in 50-86% of people with ADHD.
🧡Myth: ADHD is just an excuse for laziness. FACT: ADHD is really a problem with the chemical dynamics of the brain and it’s not under voluntary control.

Please join us in wishing a very Happy Respiratory Care Week to Ellett Respiratory Therapists: Matt Desbien, Robert Marez, and Donna Bridgewater!

A respiratory therapist (RT) helps diagnose, treat and manage conditions that affect your lungs. They perform tests and evaluations, manage ventilators, administer oxygen and medication, and work alongside physicians and other healthcare providers to develop treatment plans to help restore or maintain lung and breathing function. They are an often overlooked, but nonetheless essential part of a patient's care team.

Thank you for all that you do!
