Starting April 26, communities across the country will come together for Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters—a time to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice and support those who continue to serve.

Towner County Medical Center invites you to take part.
👉 Beginning April 26, light your home, porch, or business in red to show your support for our firefighters and first responders.

We want to thank all first responders, and especially the volunteer firefighters who give their time, energy, and safety to protect our communities.

We are especially proud of the first responders who are part of our TCMC family. Your dedication goes beyond your profession—you continue to serve your communities with heart and commitment every single day.

Throughout the week, be sure to watch for our sign out front at TCMC thanking our firefighters as a small token of our appreciation.

Whether you serve in Cando, Leeds, Bisbee, Egeland, Starkweather, Rolla, Rock Lake, Devils Lake or any other community your impact is felt far and wide.

❤️ Join us. Starting April 26, light the night and stand with those who stand for us.

Light the Night for Fallen Firefighters is part of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend sponsored by the NFFF.

🌟 Caregiver of the Quarter – Towner County Living Center 🌟

We’re proud to recognize Sherry, RN as our Caregiver of the Quarter! 💙

Sherry is a dedicated and compassionate nurse who consistently goes above and beyond for both our residents and our team. She often picks up extra shifts and has even come in on her days off just to spend time with residents who may be feeling lonely or need a little extra comfort.

She takes the time to truly connect with each resident—treating them with dignity, respect, and kindness—while bringing laughter, reassurance, and positivity to every shift, even during the late-night hours.

Sherry is also an incredible teammate, always willing to answer questions, support new nurses, and step in wherever she’s needed. Her teamwork, reliability, and genuine care make a lasting impact on everyone around her.

👏 Thank you, Sherry, for everything you do! We are so lucky to have you as part of our team.
