Wellington Regional Medical Center recently celebrated 30 years of service with a community event attended by hundreds of people that included health information booths and entertainment. A proclamation, delivered by Wellington Mayor Anne Gerwig, established October 1 as Wellington Regional Day, in honor of the hospital’s service and dedication to the community.
Continuing a Tradition of Excellence
Hospital CEO Robbin Lee says she is proud to continue a tradition of quality healthcare that started 30 years ago. “When the hospital was built, it was the only building at the crossroads of the village and was surrounded by green pastures and horse farms,” says Robbin. “But through the years, our advanced services and programs have expanded to include, interventional radiology, robotic surgery, minimally invasive surgery, cardiovascular services, neurosurgery and orthopedics, as well as bariatrics and maternity services. Wellington Regional also has the only Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in the western communities.”
Comprehensive Services and Programs
Wellington Regional Medical Center is a progressive acute care facility and medical center that offers the "high-tech" advantages of a big-city hospital and the personalized care of a hometown provider.
Robbin explains that people no longer have to travel long distances to get quality healthcare. “If you have a healthcare need, we can address it right here,” she says. “We are always expanding and improving, from implementing new technology, to teaching future doctors in our residency program. We look forward to what the future in medicine will bring to Wellington Regional, and apply that to care for the community.”
