Today is National Pharmacists’ Day, and we’re proud to recognize PCMC pharmacists Kayla Thooft and Edane Bowman.

Kayla has been part of the PCMC team since 2015. She says, “The most fulfilling part for me is the relationships that I have built, the trust that I have earned, and improvements in patients’ lives I get to witness every day make this career choice at PCMC a truly meaningful role.”

Edane joined PCMC in 2019 and values supporting patients each day. “The most fulfilling thing about my work is being able to help patients and satisfy their needs,” she shares.

Thank you, Kayla and Edane, for the care, dedication, and expertise you provide to our patients and community every day!

Pipestone County Medical Center proudly welcomed its first baby of 2026 on January 5. Liam Gael Aguilar Duarte was born at 6:52 a.m. to parents Erwin Aguilar Lopez and Jeroling Duarte Arma. He weighed 6 pounds, 10 ounces, measured 20 inches long, and was the New Year’s first arrival at PCMC.

Liam is the couple’s first child. His parents, who are originally from Nicaragua and now live in Hills, Minnesota, shared how meaningful it was to welcome their son at PCMC. With the help of a translator, Erwin expressed gratitude for the experience, describing Liam’s birth as a blessing and sharing how happy they are to begin 2026 as new parents.

The name Liam Gael was chosen for its biblical roots and personal significance to the family. Erwin also shared how memorable it was to see his son for the first time, describing the moment as overwhelming and filled with pride as he met his “really beautiful baby.”

Throughout the pregnancy and delivery, the family said they felt supported and well cared for by PCMC’s physicians and nursing staff. They described the care as kind, attentive, and reassuring, and shared their appreciation for the compassion shown to both mother and baby.

PCMC extends congratulations to Erwin and Jeroling on the birth of Liam Gael and is honored to have been part of such a special beginning to 2026.

PCMC is also grateful to First Bank and Trust, Pizza Ranch, Coborn’s, Hank’s Foods, A&S Drug, Dr. Jackie Vroman, the PCMC OBGYN Clinic, and Dr. Megan Wilkinson for their gift donations to the family to help them celebrate this joyous time. The gift basket is beautiful!

We appreciated the opportunity to welcome students from Southwest Christian to PCMC for our Health Career Day yesterday. During their visit, students rotated through small groups and connected with team members from several departments to learn more about the wide range of careers in healthcare. It was a pleasure to share a behind-the-scenes look at what working in healthcare can involve, and we enjoyed the energy and interest they brought. We’re glad you could spend the day with us and look forward to hosting you again in the future!

Did you know that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer? This January, for Cervical Health Awareness Month, we want to remind our community that you have the power to lower your risk. Two key steps for prevention:

1. HPV Vaccination: Almost all cervical cancers are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The vaccine is safe and effective and is recommended for pre-teens and adults up to age 45.

2. Healthy Choices: Smoking weakens your immune system and makes it harder for your body to fight off HPV infections. Quitting to***co is one of the best things you can do for your cervical health!

Start the year off right by prioritizing your wellness. Call Pipestone County Medical Center at 507-825-5811 to schedule a wellness visit or discuss vaccination today.

Our Story

At Pipestone County Medical Center & Family Clinic Avera, we have a long history of caring for the people of our region. Our commitment to the health of families in our community dates back to 1924 when the Ashton Memorial Hospital first opened. In 1964 we became the Pipestone County Medical Center, and we continued to work hard to meet the needs of a growing, changing population. Our goal then, as always, was to bring high-quality health care to the people we serve, providing the most advanced and sophisticated medical technologies - and the most personalized and compassionate care.

Today, Pipestone County Medical Center is a Critical Access Hospital offering a complete range of inpatient and outpatient services. Pipestone County Medical Center is part of Avera Health and works with Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Pipestone County Medical Center and Family Clinic will meet the health needs of the region by providing quality, personalized health services for the best value. We will achieve our mission by collaborating with others; by serving our customers’ and patients’ needs and expectations; by acting with integrity, respect, and compassion; and by practicing sound financial stewardship.
