Last week was National Radiologic Technology Week, a time to celebrate the incredible professionals who help us see beneath the surface — literally! Our talented radiology techs play a vital role in patient care every day, using advanced imaging technology such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds to help detect, diagnose, and guide treatment.

They combine technical skill, precision, and compassion to ensure each patient feels comfortable and cared for — often working behind the scenes but always at the heart of every diagnosis.

💚 To our amazing Radiologic Technologists at Midwest Medical Center — thank you for helping us deliver Health Care with Heart and for all you do to support our patients and providers every single day!

💚 Happy Nurse Practitioner Week! 💚

We’re proud to recognize our four dedicated Family Medicine Nurse Practitioners — Lisa Bourquin, Rachel Einsweiler, Danielle Seegmiller, and Stephanie Meier Shannon — for the exceptional care they provide every day.

Nurse Practitioners (ARNPs) play a vital role in delivering comprehensive, compassionate care. From diagnosing and treating acute illnesses to managing chronic conditions, providing preventive care, and helping patients make healthy lifestyle choices — they’re here for you and your family at every stage of life.

✨ Where to find them:

Lisa Bourquin and Rachel Ensweiler welcome patients at both our Elizabeth and Galena Health Clinics.

All of our NPs also provide care during extended care clinic hours, making quality care more accessible when you need it most.

Please join us in thanking these incredible providers for their skill, dedication, and heart. 💚
