Welcome to RAMC Birth Center’s First Baby of 2024

Welcome to RAMC’s New Year’s Baby!


The Birth Center at Reedsburg Area Medical Center is pleased to welcome their New Year’s baby!

Beau Gordon McCann wasn’t due to arrive until January 20; however, he much preferred being the New Year’s baby, born on January 2! Beau was 6 pounds, 12 ounces, and 20 inches long. Says Beth Adsit, RAMC nurse midwife, “It was a beautiful birth. Beau’s mama was a rock star. So controlled and strong!”

Beth was also celebrating January 2—it was her birthday, and it was her first official birth as RAMC’s newest nurse midwife! Ame Fischer, also a RAMC midwife, was present to support her teammate.

RAMC earns CDC (Centers for Disease Control) Full Plus Recognition

Reedsburg Area Medical Center has earned the coveted CDC (Centers for Disease Control) Full Plus Recognition for their National Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle change program, also known as Health4U.  This designation is reserved for programs that effectively deliver a quality, evidence-based program that meets all the standards for CDC recognition. This achievement means the organization has earned five years of CDC recognition (Full Plus) instead of the three years that organizations in FULL recognition have received. The continued success of Health4U makes an invaluable contribution to the prevention of type 2 diabetes, both in our community and nationally.

Not only does this program show you how to prevent diabetes, but participants have achieved an average of 8-11% weight loss, decreased the need for medications, improved their overall health, and gained energy.  Here are some comments from past participants:

“I think this is the best lifestyle change program available. I have more spring in my step, stayed committed to my exercise program and ate well.”

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and there is no better time to learn about this disease and what you can do to protect yourself.
