We are excited to announce that Welia Health has achieved a 5-Star Rating for our Inpatient Patient Experience as well as a 5-Star Overall Rating from CMS!!  A new billboard went up yesterday heading south on Hwy 65 and 23 in Mora.  There will also be a press release and a social media campaign to help us celebrate. You’ll start to see these announcements on Wednesday. 

Internally, we will be celebrating this at our upcoming employee training events for “The Welia Way” scheduled for September 13^th, 14^th, 21^st, and 25^th.  Our Employee Training & Communication Team is busy planning for these events with a variety of dates and times for employees to choose from.
