Last week, we were thrilled to host the Minnesota State University, Mankato Women’s Basketball team at Ecumen Pathstone!

Fifteen players and members of the coaching staff spent time visiting with residents—some of whom are longtime Maverick fans and even Maverick alumni. Residents loved asking questions about why the student-athletes chose Mankato, and a recurring answer was the fun, friendly culture that the Maverick Women’s Basketball team embodies. Who wouldn’t want to be part of that squad?

The team was an absolute joy to host. Together, we played indoor hoops, colored, and enjoyed freshly made fruit smoothies.

Currently, Minnesota State University, Mankato is ranked #2 in the WBCA, and we couldn’t be prouder of our Mavericks! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to create such a special and meaningful memory for our residents. Go Mavs!

At Ecumen Pathstone, team members and residents had too much fun getting their 2026 Glow Up's. We didn't just want to talk about new year's resolutions. We wanted to dream BIG and get a full Glow Up! A dress made of cheese and a ride on a rainbow slide....nothing feels impossible for the folks at Ecumen Possible.

We sure do miss Laura, but we are so glad she stayed within the Ecumen family! 🥰 Happy 20th anniversary!

Laura, an LPN with Ecumen, began her career with Ecumen Pathstone in Mankato 20 years ago.

Since August 2024 we have been lucky enough to have Laura here at Ecumen Lakeshore caring for our Fountains patients. Congratulations Laura!

We are saddened to learn that Seasons Healthcare will be closing its doors in February.

Organizations like this play a vital role in Mankato, and we want to acknowledge their deep commitment to caring for older adults.

At Ecumen, we understand how much heart and dedication this work requires. We would be honored to connect with Seasons Healthcare employees who may be considering their next steps. With a variety of open positions, we welcome the opportunity to start a conversation about what a career at Ecumen Pathstone could look like.

Ecumen Pathstone campus celebrated the holiday season last week with a Campus Holiday Party. Santa fit us into his busy schedule and made a joyful visit. All of our residents were on the nice list and received a gift. There were many busy little elves making and serving Holiday Fluff and a Holiday Spritz to all those that attended. The spirit was merry!

Happy holidays to all of our Facebook friends and family!

Sharing pictures of the holiday performances from the VINE Choir and Stompers. We are fortunate and grateful that VINE has these two groups and that they come to Ecumen Pathstone to sing and dance. This month's performances were filled with classic Christmas Carols and Holiday favorites.

We were wined and dined at Ecumen Pathstone. Thanks to our culinary director, Jana, and her talented team we were served a delicious four course meal. From the herring starter to the lemon dessert, we were delighted with the tasty menu!

While dining we had music accompaniment. Our servers were dressed in their finest and kept our champagne glasses full. It was a holiday meal to remember.
