Big news from our Emergency Department! 🎉

We’re proud to share that our ED team has received the Lantern Award from the Emergency Nurses Association—a national honor recognizing excellence in emergency care, leadership, innovation, and teamwork.

Our team, led by Wendy Spence and Wanda Irwin, cares for over 25,000 patients a year—but it’s not the numbers that define them. It’s the way they make people feel, reflected in the feedback received directly from patients:

💬 “They treated me like family.”
💬 “They listened.”
💬 “They made me feel safe.”

These are more than just kind words—they’re a reflection of a team that lives in this community, raises their families here, and shows up every day with compassion and purpose.

To our incredible nurses, providers, and staff: thank you for the care you give and the example you set. This recognition is yours—and so well deserved. 🩵

Even our providers can’t resist some good grillables on a summer day 🍔☀️ (getting it served to you by the boss is just a bonus 😉)!

We loved stepping outside at our annual picnic this week to grab a bite, and spend time with the incredible people who make UMMC what it is.

Thanks to everyone who helped make our annual picnic a success—and to our entire team for everything you do, every day. 🩵

We were honored to be part of Batavia's GLOW OUT Pride Parade and Festival this weekend - a vibrant and inspiring reminder of how visibility, acceptance, and belonging strengthen our entire community. ✨

As we celebrate, we’re reminded that our roots in the community inspire us to Provide with Pride 🩺 all year long, not just during Pride Month.

Because Pride is more than a celebration - it’s about understanding why visibility and acceptance matters and how it helps create better, more accessible workplaces and improves the care we provide for all our patients. 🩵

We had a great time hosting local Girl Scouts for a special “Stroke Superstar” Patch event! 🧠

UMMC team members partnered with the Girl Scouts of Western New York to teach future leaders how to recognize the signs of a stroke and how to act fast in an emergency - because knowledge saves lives.

The scouts also got a behind-the-scenes look at UMMC, explored medical equipment and an ambulance, met real-life healthcare heroes, and even donated handmade blankets to patients at Lipson Cancer Center.

Huge thanks to our team members who made this experience so meaningful, and to the Girl Scouts for their generous hearts and eagerness to learn. We’re proud to partner in building a healthier, safer community - one patch at a time! 👏 🩵
