✨ Welcome, Adaline! ✨

Kelly Kilpatrick Wendt and Heath Wendt of Sanborn, MN, welcomed their daughter Adaline on January 2, 2026, at 9:11 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs, 9 oz and measured 20.5 inches long. Adaline, SEMC’s first baby of 2026, was delivered by Dr. Karlyn Armbruster.

Some moments feel perfectly timed… “American Girl” by Tom Petty was playing as she made her grand entrance!

Congratulations to the Wendt family on their special New Year arrival! And thank you, Kelly and Heath, for trusting SEMC to be part of this special journey.

As we welcome a new year, we pause with gratitude for the year behind us.

We are honored to serve the patients and communities who place their trust in us through life’s most meaningful moments—from births and milestones to illness, healing, and times of loss. It is a privilege to walk alongside you.

This past year brought growth, change, challenges, and triumphs. Throughout it all, our commitment to caring for our patients continued to guide us. We strive to provide care that is personal, compassionate, and supported by thoughtful investments in our people, services, and technology—close to home.

As we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, we’re excited by what the future holds and grateful for the opportunity to continue serving this community.

Wishing you and your family a new year filled with health, hope, and moments of genuine joy.

A quick winter reminder: bulky coats and car seats don’t mix. Removing your child’s coat before buckling them in helps ensure a snug, safe fit.

Wearing winter coats in the car during the colder months can be dangerous for babies and young kids. If you get into an accident, the fluffy padding in a coat immediately flattens out from the force, leaving extra space under the harness and putting children at risk of being thrown from their seat.

Please join us in congratulating Laurie Neid on her well-earned retirement after 23 years at Sleepy Eye Medical Center—plus an earlier chapter of service that helped shape who we are today.

Throughout her career in our Business Office, she has worn many hats: supporting cash entries, scheduling appointments, answering calls, and helping with anything and everything in between. No matter the task, she approached each day with a friendly smile, dependable work ethic, and a genuine commitment to making our patients feel welcomed and cared for.

She shared that she’ll miss "the good times," her coworkers, and the sense of family. At the same time, she’s looking forward to a new season with more free time—staying busy in her own way and enjoying more moments with her mom.

Thank you, Laurie, for your years of dedication, kindness, and service to our patients and community. You will always be part of the SEMC family, and we wish you all the best in your retirement!
