The health system was able to bring back their "High-Five" celebration after having to take some time off because of the pandemic. 360 associates were honored who hit a milestone in the year, 2021 and 2022. Combined they have a total of 445 years of providing care to area people at the hospital.

Lima Memorial Health System was one of the first in the country to adopt the da Vinci Robotic Surgery Technology, and Dr. Jeremy Heffner and his team have set the standard that other hospitals across the county come to Lima to learn from. Heffner says nearly 10 years ago when they started doing robotic surgeries, colleagues and patients would ask why you are doing this, but now they are asking how. He says the robot has become the true way of doing surgeries now because the less invasive procedures put patients on the path of recovery quicker.

Lima Memorial Health System said thank you to their medical staff with a luncheon Monday afternoon.

National Doctors' Day is on March 30th, but Lima Memorial decided to hold the luncheon a few days earlier this year. Members of the medical staff at the hospital were given a special meal as a way to recognize them for their hard work.

They are the first on the scene when lives are at stake and Monday night Lima Memorial Health System wanted to say thank you for their service. 

A celebration Thursday night as a local fitness center and business, is now in the clear financially. It was the Lima YMCA's 130th Anniversary Celebration and annual meeting, but they had more than just that to be excited about. 

Recognition was given to members of the Emergency Medical Service community Monday night.
