NEWMAN REGIONAL HEALTH RECOGNIZED BY EMPORIA MAIN STREET AS 2021 BUSINESS OF THE YEAR We are grateful to our staff for their perseverance, grit, and d etermination to provide high quality care to our community. There’s no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in challenging moments for us as a healthcare system but also the professional careers of our w orkforce.
From Emporia Main Street’s E-News: “Each year, the Emporia Main Street Board of Directors selects a single business that through their commitment to community, business practices and philosophy emulates the mission and vision of Emporia Main Street. We love having the o pportunity to recognize a Business of the Year that measures success not only via their balance sheet – and that’s important - but also in ways that they have made a positive impact on taheir local community. Past recipients of this award have found ways to work cooperatively with competitors and complementary businesses alike to
grow Emporia sustainably. Businesses that understand how Emporia was built and recognize the importance of fostering entrepreneurship, citizenship and community pride are a hallmark of Emporia, but few businesses can claim a destination role quite like our Business of the Year recipient: Newman Regional Health. Newman Regional Health has dealt with the brunt of the COVID pandemic, while managing expansions, aiding staff, and finding ways to assist the community outside of their facility. Newman Regional Health worked with Emporia Main Street on mask
drives, White R ibbon campaigns, incorporating local businesses in staff support efforts, and has worked tirelessly in an effort to protect our local community with vaccination efforts in conjunction with the Greater Emporia Area Disaster Relief Fund. A region cannot call itself successful without a quality healthcare system, and Newman Regional Health has worked tirelessly to make our region healthier, safer, and more successful. Your Emporia Main Street Business of the Year, Newman Regional Health.” August 3rd, 2021
