Newman Regional Health was one of 16 Kansas hospitals cited for its excellence in maternity care in January 2018. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas designated 16 of its contracting hospitals as Blue Distinction Centers for Maternity Care as part of the national Blue Distinction Specialty Care program that recognized hospitals for providing quality and affordable care. Blue Distinction Centers are national designated hospitals that show expertise in delivering improved patient safety and better health outcomes, based on objective measures that were developed with input from the medical community. The Blue Distinction Centers for Maternity Care program evaluates hospitals on quality measures for vaginal and cesarean delivery. To receive a Blue Distinction Centers+ designation, a hospital must meet the same quality criteria as Blue Distinction Centers while also meeting requirements for cost efficiency. Nearly four million babies are born in the U.S. annually, making childbirth the most common cause of hospitalization, and cesarean sections the most common operating room procedure, according to National Centers for Health Statistics and the Agency for Health Care Research & Quality. Reducing early elective delivery is an area of focus for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Academy of Pediatrics. According to Health Affairs, elective inductions result in more cesarean deliveries and a longer maternal hospitalization. Since 2006, the Blue Distinction Specialty Care program has helped patients find quality specialty care in the areas of bariatric surgery, cancer care, cardiac care, maternity care, knee and hip replacements, spine surgery and transplants, while encouraging health care professionals to improve the care they deliver. Research shows that, compared to other hospitals, those designated as Blue Distinction Centers demonstrate better quality and improved outcomes for patients. On average, Blue Distinction Centers+ also are 20 percent more cost-efficient than non-Blue Distinction Center+ designated hospitals.

A L W A Y S
Being strategically located along the intersection of I-35 and I-335 and U.S. Highway 50, Emporia is a regional manufacturing, educational, transportation, medical and agricultural center. Its centralized location and economic diversity makes it a wonderful place to create and grow your business.
The Emporia economy has been robust! There has been tremendous job growth at Hostess Brands, Simmons Pet Food and other businesses. Many businesses continue to grow their capacity with increased sales. Emporia is located in the heart of the ranching and farming operations which fosters a powerful work ethic that is pervasive throughout our community. Some of those work ethic attributes are the understanding of what it takes to get the job done, showing up to work on time, being ready to work, strong leadership skills, the ability to work as a team, to problem solve and pay attention to detail. In 2017 Simmons Pet Foods broke ground on a facility expansion at its Flexible Packaging Facility in Emporia, Kansas. The $38 million investment will increase operations by 200,000 square feet and create approximately 100 new jobs in the Emporia area. The company expects to begin operations in 2019. Simmons Pet Food currently employs 500 people at its Emporia location. “The expansion of our operations in Emporia represents a story about the strength of good people doing great work, strong performance and dependable partnerships,” said Jason Beyer, Vice President of Operations, Simmons Pet Food, Inc. in Emporia. “Emporia is the place Simmons Pet Food calls home and we are proud to be part of helping this community grow through job creation.” With the tremendous amount of increased capacity at our businesses and job growth over the past years, Emporia is facing growth challenges – a tight labor market and shortage of housing. The community is stepping forward to face these challenges head on. A new housing subdivision has been developed which will provide more build home sites, which in turn will free up more homes in the market.

Emporia is one of the few communities in the region that has both the Flint Hills Technical College (FHTC) and Emporia State University (ESU). With the tight labor market, there are mismatches with skills, training and education. Both FHTC and ESU assist individuals and businesses mitigate those skills and educational gaps. The future for the Emporia regional economy is excellent. With the diversity of businesses enterprises when sectors are experiencing “head winds” other sectors have strong “tail winds.” We anticipate continued and consistent growth. Anyone interested in growing their business in the Emporia Region is encouraged to contact the Regional Development Association, located in the Trusler Business Center, 719 Commercial, or find them at www. emporiarda.org.

MY TAKE
Allison Hall
Although I was born and raised here in Emporia, graduated from ESU with a business management degree and have a family who’s owned a business here since 1956, I still had to move away to “find my way.” The 5 years I was gone were some of the best learning years of my life, and even though I had an established career and amazing friends, I always felt like my life lacked a real sense of purpose. Then the day came when a phone call from my Dad really changed my life’s direction. Time had come for some of the “OG’s” who worked at the shop for many years to step back and away from the job. So now, more than ever, was my time to decide what direction I wanted my life to go in. After a couple months of talks with Dad and having gotten a recent promotion at my current job, I struggled with the thought of leaving a place that had been such a blessing to me. But boy did I make the right decision to “find my way back!” In the last 18 months, Emporia has embraced me back in a way that I could’ve never imagined. Besides being the 3rd generation to manage Emporia Floral, I get the pleasure & the challenge of continuing a legacy that my grandparents left behind and that my family has worked so hard to maintain. Through the Chamber and other private organizations, I’ve quickly became involved in many activities that I never would’ve even thought about. And through those things, I’ve established new friendships and amazing professional connections that will only grow with time. I am blessed to be a part of this great, growing community and I’m grateful to everyone who’s reached out to me since I’ve been back. If you are looking toward the Midwest, I encourage you to come check out all that Emporia has to offer. I promise you won’t be disappointed!! COURTESY PHOTO

restricting and should represent and honor all American veterans of all wars. The following year, this idea caught the attention of local congressman Edward H. Rees. He took it to Congress, and in 1954 Armistice Day was officially recognized as Veterans Day. Emporia was recognized by Congress in 2003 as the Official Founding City of Veterans Day. In 1991, Emporia became the first city in the U.S. to establish an All Veterans Memorial Park dedicated to veterans of all wars, conflicts, and peacetime service. The memorial contains a state Purple Heart Monument and a monument dedicated to recognize all wars and conflicts. While planning for the Millennium, the Emporia Chamber and Visitors Bureau organized the first All Veterans Tribute, a tribute to all veterans. Event favorites are the Veterans Day Parade, Memorial Service, and the Ham and Bean Feed served to the community. These annual events have continued since 1953. THOMAS FELTS

Prior to moving to Emporia in January of 2016, I had visited Emporia several times to play in disc golf tournaments. As a Denver, Colorado resident, the 8-hour trip to Emporia and the 8-hour trip back to Denver were well worth the time every time we visited. In 2010, my youngest daughter Paige and I played in the Glass Blown Open for the first time and were so amazed at how the town embraced disc golfers. We couldn’t believe that employees at local businesses asked us about disc golf and the tournament. We couldn’t believe that restaurants had messages welcoming disc golfers on their marquees. Add to the welcome embrace a growing disc golf company known for running stellar events and some great courses in Emporia and the result was disc golf heaven! From the 2010 GBO trip until 2015, some combination of our family (three-disc golfing kids and Noemi - my disc golfing wife) made an annual trip to Emporia to play either another GBO or another Dynamic Discs event hosted in Emporia. Each year got better and better. Each year the embrace from the city of Emporia was stronger and each year the city added and/or improved the disc golf courses, making the events even more fantastic! In the fall of 2015, our youngest daughter Paige made the choice to come to school in Emporia and enrolled at ESU and moved into the dorms. Crazy, but the decision was primarily based on her disc golfing experiences in Emporia! Little did we know that five short months after Paige moved into the dorms at ESU, my wife Noemi and I would follow suit! (Note: We did not move into the dorms, rather into a great loft apartment right downtown.) Dynamic Discs had offered me a part-time position running their tournaments. I had another full-time position which allowed me to telecommute and with the help of some great ValuNet FIBER, I was able to both work from home and work for Dynamic Discs getting events planned. Fast forward a couple years and with Dynamic Discs growing, a full-time position was offered that included both event planning and some HR and community relations responsibilities. I accepted the position and Noemi and I purchased a home and planted our own Emporia roots. Having spent 10+ years in Denver, we certainly have missed the amazing variety in food, shopping, and the arts. The trade-offs though are pretty solid. We can get anywhere in town in about 8 minutes. The folks we interact with and do business with know us by our names. The disc golf is world class! And at the end of the day, if there is something Emporia does not have to offer, it is a relatively short and simple drive to Topeka, Manhattan, Lawrence, Wichita, or Kansas City where anything we had in Denver can be found!

Jose Feliciano
Being a son of military veteran, I was born in Okinawa and traveled and lived in many places around the world from small towns to large cities. In 2007, I chose to move to Emporia, Kansas. Eleven years later Emporia, Kansas becomes the longest place I have lived in my entire life. When I turned 50, I mindfully decided to plant my roots into the community by buying my dream house. A year after that, I changed my path to dig my roots even deeper by working for Emporia State University. Why, you may ask? Emporia, Kansas is the place where you can make a difference and see it happen. The community embraces your visions with warm welcomes and guidance. Being here has evolved me in becoming a giving and caring citizen that truly wants to be a part of the growth of our community and especially Emporia State University. Take charge of your growth!
