Please join us in congratulating Pete Banning on being named Pana Community Hospital’s October High Five Award recipient! 👏

Pete went above and beyond when a critical system issue occurred early one morning. Without hesitation, he came in before his shift to troubleshoot the problem. Thanks to his quick action and expertise, our team regained access to patient charts in Cerner — allowing surgery to begin on time and without disruption.

Pete’s dedication and reliability are perfect examples of the teamwork that keeps our hospital running smoothly and our patients safe. We are incredibly grateful for his commitment! 💙

Congratulations, Pete! 🎉

We are incredibly grateful to the Pana High School Volleyball and Football teams for presenting a $1,205 donation to the Pana Community Hospital Foundation! These funds were raised during their Pink Night games in October, and their generosity is helping us kick off our 2026 Capital Campaign. 🩷

This campaign will raise funds to replace our current 3D mammography machine with a new, advanced 3D technology system — ensuring the women in our community continue to have access to the best early detection tools available.

The new machine will cost $465,000, and the Foundation aims to raise $125,000 in 2026 toward this important purchase. All proceeds from our Year-End Appeal will also support this project.

A huge THANK YOU to Pana High School for leading the way with the very first donation toward this lifesaving upgrade.

If you’d like to support the cause, you can make a year-end gift at give.panahospital.com. Together, we can bring the latest 3D mammography technology to our community!
