🚀 Cleared for Launch 🚀

Today, we proudly celebrate the graduation of our latest Service Excellence Advisor (SEA) cohort at Ortonville Area Health Services.

Fittingly, on the same day that NASA launches Artemis II (the first crewed mission to journey around the moon in over 50 years) we recognize a group of team members who have committed to preparation, teamwork, and excellence.

Just as spaceflight depends on discipline, trust, and shared accountability, service excellence is never a solo mission. Our SEA graduates are now part of the crew helping define our culture and elevate the experience for our patients, residents, families, and one another.

Congratulations to our graduates! You are cleared for flight, and we’re grateful to have you on this mission. 🌕✨

If you're 45 or older, now is the time to get screened for colorectal cancer - one of the most common, yet preventable, cancers in both men and women. Screening tests, such as colonoscopy, can detect abnormal growths early, allowing them to be removed before they develop into cancer.

Talk to your provider about your screening options during your yearly wellness check or call us at 320-839-6157 to schedule an appointment. Early detection saves lives!
