Ellett Memorial Employee of the Month

 


Ellett Memorial Hospital is proud to announce our March 2025 Employee of the Month is none other than Amy Oles! Amy has worked in the AC Rural Health Clinic during the week since October of 2018. She is a people person and loves her patients and cares for them like her family. Amy is always willing to cross train to help out in other departments when needed. She is also a great instructor, as she teaches a C NA class and got everyone of her students able to pass their test and became certified. Amy has also volunteered to hold Diabetes meetings once a quarter for anyone needing guidance and information. She keeps her workload managed and is always productive with a smile. There is never a dull moment around Amy.

We are happy that Amy is with our EMH family and we are blessed to have her as a co-worker and friend. Once again, Congrats Amy!

Search continues for missing man in Miami county

Update: Missing Person Jordan Yust from the Miami County Sheriff's Office

After another full day of searching, we have not been able to locate Jordan.
Deputies along with the Olathe Police Department, the Kansas Search and Rescue K9 group and citizens utilized multiple K9’s, drones and off road vehicles to continue to search the area of 247th Street and 69 Highway focusing on a possible reported sighting from Monday night. That sighting has not been verified it was Jordan, however it has been the only tip that has come in that has not been disproven.
The search is expected to continue through the weekend and many people may be in the area looking. We ask that you use caution in the area due to the extra foot traffic and off road vehicles being used.
The Olathe Police Department is the investigative agency and their press release is attached below.

The Bates County Sheriff's Office and Posse was one of multiple agencies who aided in the search for Yust this week.
