As we recognize Administrative Professionals Day, we express our sincere appreciation for the dedicated administrative staff who help keep our hospitals and clinical practices organized, efficient, and running smoothly every day.

They manage complex schedules, support communication across teams, and handle countless details that are essential to daily operations. Their professionalism, problem-solving skills, adaptability, and commitment to excellence make a meaningful difference in how effectively our health system functions.

Through their hard work and dedication, our administrative staff support clinicians, leaders, and departments by creating structure, consistency, and reliability in a fast-paced environment. Their contributions often happen behind the scenes, but their impact is felt across the entire organization.

Thank you, administrative professionals, for your valuable contributions and continued commitment.

LECOM Medical Center is observing National Osteopathic Medicine Week, April 13-19, and this morning hosted a donut breakfast for employees.

LMC is pleased to recognize and celebrate the valuable contributions of osteopathic medicine at our hospital and across the entire LECOM Health system.

LMC's foundation was built on the principles of osteopathic medicine, emphasizing a whole-person approach, preventive care, and the interconnectedness of body systems. These principles continue to guide our mission and shape the care, services, and education provided throughout LECOM Health.

Osteopathic physicians and team members bring a unique perspective that enhances collaboration, innovation, and compassionate service. Their training and philosophy contribute meaningfully to the strength of our organization and support our patients every day through thoughtful, individualized approaches to health and healing.

We are proud of our osteopathic roots and grateful for the continued dedication of those who uphold these values in their daily work. Please join us in recognizing National Osteopathic Medicine Week and in thanking the osteopathic professionals who play such an important role in our hospital and health system.

LECOM Behavioral Health and Barber National Institute have announced a coordinated realignment of behavioral health services — one guided by shared values, a commitment to continuity of care, and deep respect for the work Barber National Institute continues to do in supporting individuals and families across our community.

As Barber National Institute refocuses its services around its core expertise in supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism, community-based behavioral health services will continue through LECOM Behavioral Health, with Achievement Center of LECOM Health, Corry Counseling of LECOM Health, and LECOM Institute for Behavioral Health each playing a role in supporting individuals, families, and staff through this transition.

Our commitment is simple: those who choose to continue care with us will find a dedicated team ready to receive them, and professionals whose roles are transitioning will find a place to continue doing what they do best.

For questions about care, contact LECOM Behavioral Health Centralized Access: 814.860.8765

LECOM Behavioral Health is a coordinated behavioral health service line within LECOM Health, bringing together Achievement Center of LECOM Health, Corry Counseling of LECOM Health, LECOM Institute for Behavioral Health, and the Behavioral Health Pavilion at LECOM Medical Center.
