Boundary Waters Care Center in Ely celebrates Mother’s Day, honors nurses, healthcare workers

On May 8 Boundary Waters Care Center hosted a Mother’s Day Celebration, while also celebrating Nurse’s Week.

“We’re celebrating the moms… we’ve got a lot of locals here, a lot of family members come in,” said Sara Spate, executive director of BWCC. “And even beyond family members, I’ve got a lot of staff who have their own moms working here as well.”

The event on Friday was well-received, with around 40 patients, staff, and family members in attendance. Staff led a few Mother’s Day-themed activities, including word association, word scramble; and a selection of Mother’s Day poetry was read aloud.
