Sleepy Eye Medical Center is proud to once again sponsor the Illuminate HOPE Gala in support of B the Light.

Thank you to Sleepy Eye Medical Center for once again supporting B the Light with a Shimmering Silver Sponsorship at this year’s Illuminate HOPE Gala!

Having our local medical facilities stand with us shows the community they truly believe in the work we’re doing for their patients and for women navigating breast cancer. Your support is a beautiful example of how healthcare and community can come together to make a difference.

We are so grateful for your partnership and dedication to uplifting survivors across Southern Minnesota. 💗

Today, sophomores from Sleepy Eye St. Mary’s and Sleepy Eye Public School toured our facility to explore the wide variety of careers in healthcare.

As these students start thinking about their futures and preparing to apply for Sleepy Eye On-the-Job Training (OJT) programs next school year, we were excited to give them a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to care for our community.

❤️ Know your risk. Protect your heart.

We’re excited to announce a new service at Sleepy Eye Medical Center: the coronary calcium scan.

This quick, painless CT scan checks for calcium (plaque) in your heart’s arteries. Your results provide a calcium score—a powerful tool to help you and your provider understand your risk of heart disease.

Who should consider it? Adults with risk factors like:
✔️ Family history of heart disease
✔️ High blood pressure or cholesterol
✔️ Diabetes
✔️ Smoking
✔️ Overweight or obesity

Cost: $100 self-pay (for many, HSA/FSA/HRA eligible) - due at the time of appointment. (Insurance typically does not cover this screening.)

Note: At SEMC, a provider referral is required for this scan. Please talk with your provider to see if it’s right for you!

Several of our nurses recently attended “The First 48” lactation education course, gaining in-depth knowledge about breastfeeding, its benefits for mom and baby, and so much more.

The training—led by Chiloe Kottke, MSN RN, IBCLC and Katie Bloedow, MSN RN, CLC—focused on empowering nurses with the essential skills to support newborns and families during the first 48 hours of life.

The timing couldn’t be better, as August is National Breastfeeding Month. At SEMC, we’re passionate about providing families with the resources and support they need for a healthy start because those first moments can make all the difference.

✨ That’s a wrap on parade season! ✨

We ended the summer with the Sleepy Eye Summerfest parade on Saturday evening, and it was such a joy to see so many friendly faces along the route.

This year’s float theme was “Just Keep Caring” because caring for you is what we love to do, every day. 🐠💛

Thank you for waving, cheering, and stopping to say hello. We had so much fun celebrating our community with you!
