November is American Diabetes Month, and throughout the month, PCMC Dr. Myles Zephier will be sharing some important information about the disease, the warning signs, and how to prevent/treat it.

"Type 2 diabetes is a condition that occurs when the body fails to properly use insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels over time. Without treatment, it can affect your heart, kidneys, nerves, and vision. The good news is that with awareness and early action, we can effectively prevent or manage it."

Did you know that socks are the most requested items in the winter from those in need, and that providing clean, new socks helps prevent foot-related health complications? Pipestone County Medical Center and the Edgerton Family Clinic invite you to help those in need this holiday season by donating new socks!

Totes will be available at PCMC in Pipestone and at the Edgerton Family Clinic for you to drop off your sock donations, and all collected socks will go to individuals/organizations in both communities.

Pipestone County Medical Center (PCMC) and Pipestone Area Schools (PAS) are pleased to present a six-week Winter Acceleration Program designed for 5th and 6th-grade athletes looking to strengthen their foundations in plyometrics, running, and strength training. Sessions begin Wednesday, November 5, and take place on Wednesday mornings from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. at the PAS High School gymnasium and weight room. The program runs through December 10, with a make-up date scheduled for December 17. Cost to participate is $25, payable to PCMC.

Athletic development at a younger age offers meaningful benefits. By focusing on movement fundamentals, young athletes can improve coordination, build strength safely, and reduce the risk of injury—particularly as they progress into middle school or participate in multiple sports. According to PCMC Athletic Trainer Jeff Haufschild, “This program gives our youth athletes a head-start on training with purpose and smart technique, rather than simply lifting heavier.” He adds, “We want to create a strong foundation so when these athletes hit high-school sports, they’re prepared physically and mentally.”

The Winter Acceleration Program blends fun and focus. Participants will engage in age-appropriate plyometric drills, running form, and strength work designed for developing athletes. The early-morning schedule helps build discipline and consistency, and Haufschild emphasized, “Training at this level builds confidence and helps kids see themselves as athletes who work smart and train smart.”

To register, sign up at the PAS office. For a $25 fee, this initiative offers a high-value athletic experience guided by professionals committed to youth well-being and performance. Whether your child plays basketball, football, track, or other activities, this acceleration program is an excellent opportunity to invest in their athletic future.

For questions, contact Jeff Haufschild at jeffrey.haufschild@pcmchealth.org or call 605-203-3177. Don’t miss this chance to help your child build a strong athletic foundation this winter. Spaces are limited, and the journey begins on November 5.

Our Story

At Pipestone County Medical Center & Family Clinic Avera, we have a long history of caring for the people of our region. Our commitment to the health of families in our community dates back to 1924 when the Ashton Memorial Hospital first opened. In 1964 we became the Pipestone County Medical Center, and we continued to work hard to meet the needs of a growing, changing population. Our goal then, as always, was to bring high-quality health care to the people we serve, providing the most advanced and sophisticated medical technologies - and the most personalized and compassionate care.

Today, Pipestone County Medical Center is a Critical Access Hospital offering a complete range of inpatient and outpatient services. Pipestone County Medical Center is part of Avera Health and works with Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Pipestone County Medical Center and Family Clinic will meet the health needs of the region by providing quality, personalized health services for the best value. We will achieve our mission by collaborating with others; by serving our customers’ and patients’ needs and expectations; by acting with integrity, respect, and compassion; and by practicing sound financial stewardship.
