At Emplify Health by Gundersen Wabasha, we understand that being ready for any emergency is essential to providing quick, professional, and confident care when it matters most. That’s why our Radiation Decontamination Team recently participated in their annual training alongside partners from Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Emplify Health by Gundersen La Crosse, Wabasha County Public Health, Wabasha County Emergency Management, and Wabasha Ambulance Service.

This important training included a detailed PowerPoint presentation and hands-on education using dosimeters and friskers to detect radiation on patients. These exercises prepare our team to respond effectively to any radiation-related incidents if the Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant in Red Wing causes an evacuation to the Wabasha Reception Center.

Planning, preparing, and practicing together ensures that our staff are ready to act swiftly, safely, and with confidence—protecting our community and providing the highest level of care if the need ever arises.

We are proud of the dedication and teamwork that keeps us prepared for all situations. Your safety is our priority.

Friday was a blast at work with our Border Battle showdown! Staff came decked out in their team apparel, proudly representing either the Vikings or the Packers. To fuel the friendly rivalry, everyone enjoyed a delicious tailgate lunch together. It was a fun-filled day of team spirit, great food, and lots of laughs.

Who do you think will win today's game? Let's hear it—SKOL or GO PACK GO!

We are truly thankful to have been part of the first annual Sounds of Hope battle of the bands event on November 16th. It was a beautiful way for our community to come together and kick off the 2025 holiday season with warmth, music, and joy.

A heartfelt thank you to Wabasha Rotary and Wabasha Kellogg Star of Hope for hosting such a meaningful celebration. We were honored to contribute through Paula Thompson’s education on Food that will Fuel the Body and Emily Chilson’s insights on the Importance of Mental Health and Support.

Events like this remind us of the power of community, connection, and caring for one another. We are grateful to share in these moments that uplift and inspire us all as we head into the holiday season. 💙✨

🚁 Last week, Emplify Health Wabasha joined forces with the Wabasha Fire Department, Wabasha Ambulance, and GundersenAIR for a vital helicopter training session. This training refreshed essential safety procedures for landing helicopters and the careful techniques needed to load and unload patients and equipment safely.

The teams also reviewed emergency protocols and safety shutoffs to be prepared for any situation, no matter how rare. Coordinating a safe patient flight requires trust, skill, and teamwork—and it’s truly inspiring to witness our local emergency responders working together with such dedication.

We are deeply grateful for our hometown heroes who willingly step away from their own lives and loved ones to be there for our community in moments of greatest need. Your compassion, sacrifice, and commitment touch countless lives, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you do to keep us safe. 💙
