You've probably seen the clinic building sitting just across the street from the medical center. This building will have a large waiting room, multiple patient rooms, and offices too. You will hopefully be able to take a look for yourself by this spring. Until then the staff of BSMC will continue to iron out details and make necessary arrangements for the upcoming move. There has been considerable discussion about which offices will move to the new building and which will stay in the current...

New and exciting things are happening every day around BSMC. Some of them are internal affairs with little outward showing. Like our kitchen staff who are now all “Safe Serve” trained, or our maintenance department having received their boiler education. Other things are more obvious like the preparations for the new generator or the Modular Clinic that is coming soon! From the time this facility was built, the goal has always been to serve the community. What that service has looked like has evolved over the years, with technological adv...

Harvest Fest 2022 was a success! We were blessed with perfect temperatures and a smoke-free sky after Friday's rain. The event was well attended and certainly enjoyed by all who came to enjoy the day. With the help of the Big Sandy Baracuda Swim Team, the kids in attendance tested their skills at games like ring toss, pop-can fishing, football throw, and balloon darts, among others. If they weren't partaking in a game, they were getting their face painted, playing on the bounce house, or...

The Halloween festivities have come and gone here at BSMC. This year's celebration looked a little different without the parade of goblins and ghouls from FE Miley. Heather Wolery was so kind to provide a slideshow of each of the kids with their costumes on. The staff continued the costume contest tradition and didn't hold anything back this year. The building was decorated, top to bottom, and the Halloween Party was hosted on October 30. For the last 3 years, the nursing staff has won the...
