Welia Health, in partnership with Medtronic, is hosting a free public event on May 19 at 5:30pm focused on bladder and bowel control. Staff are welcome to attend in person or virtually. Dr. Michael Cady will discuss common symptoms, treatment options, and ways to improve quality of life.
The flyer below is available for download. Please share with friends, family, and patients as you see fit! Registration is required by scanning the QR code or click HERE.
The Support Group flyer has been updated with dates through the end of 2025.
These groups are free and open to anyone—patients, staff, family members, friends or neighbors. They’re a great resource for people who could use a little extra support, and word of mouth from our staff makes a big difference in helping these programs grow. The groups are led by our own Welia Health team members. Please download, print, and pass it along to anyone who may benefit.
Thanks for helping us connect our community to the care they need!

As Troy and I close this chapter of our lives, we are filled with gratitude! Our combined 65 years of service at Kanabec Hospital, First Light and Welia Health has blessed us in so many ways. We felt challenged professionally yet fortunate to work locally which allowed for a great work/life balance. The relationships we developed with staff and patients was fulfilling and instrumental in our job satisfaction. Thank you especially for the awesome support of the rehab and eye clinic staff. You are top notch and made it easy to come to work. Thank you Welia! Your emphasis on caring for our communities is wonderful!!
