Ascension Health Matters - November 2021

Happy One Year Ascension!

On Tuesday, November 9, we celebrated the one year anniversary of our Ascension Hospital, and what a year it’s been! Over the past year, we’ve cared for 25,570 patients – 8,769 ER patients, 11,831 Primary Care visits, 4,316 OB/GYN visits, 1,375 Physical Therapy visits and 774 mammograms were given.

We are #BRGProud to care for the Ascension community and can’t wait to see where we’ll be in 20 years!

It’s Almost Time to Deck the Halls!
