Congratulations! Well done!

Each year, the Kansas Association of Healthcare Communicators recognizes outstanding work in healthcare communications, advertising, events, video production, and marketing through the Emerald Awards at their spring conference.

Rooks County Health Center is proud to announce that six awards were brought home this year!

RCH received a Certificate of Merit in the Video category for Matt and Holly Willis’ story, featured as part of the Relocate to Rooks campaign. Emerald Awards were also received in the following categories:

• Special Events — Talk with a Doc
• Digital Advertising — Medicare Rules of the Road
• Wildcard — 100 Days Celebration
• Total Campaign — Relocate to Rooks

To top it all off, the Relocate to Rooks campaign — a collaborative project between the Rooks County Health Center Foundation and Rural Champion — also received the conference’s overall “Best in Show” award. Rural Champion is supported through the Kansas Department of Commerce Office of Rural Prosperity.

These awards are a reflection of the incredible things happening every day at RCH and throughout Rooks County. More importantly, they represent the teamwork, creativity, and collaboration behind each project.

Thank you to everyone who played a role in bringing these projects to life. Be sure to stop by the display case in the hospital to check out the awards!

During National Hospital Week, we’re shining a light on the specialized services that make a life-changing difference for patients and families. From NICUs caring for our smallest patients to advanced surgical units, behavioral health services and rehabilitation programs, Kansas hospitals provide critical care close to home when it matters most.

National Women’s Health Week is the perfect reminder to start building healthy habits early. Annual wellness visits, blood pressure checks, mental health conversations, sexual health screenings and preventive care help establish a baseline for lifelong health. Taking care of yourself now can make a difference for years to come. https://womenshealth.gov/sites/default/files/_documents/2026/nwhw/health_screenings_508_final.pdf

During National Hospital Week, we recognize the calm voices that guide patients through uncertain moments. It’s the nurse or physician who takes the time to walk step-by-step through a procedure—explaining what to expect, answering questions and offering steady reassurance along the way.

As comes to a close, we are highlighting some of the fun celebrations Kansas hospitals hosted. From food trucks to games to inspiring young students, a lot of memories were made in 2026!

During National Hospital Week, we’re celebrating the moments that often go unseen—but mean everything like the nursing assistant who pauses in a busy shift to share a laugh, offer a comforting word or simply sit for a moment so a patient doesn’t feel alone.
