Ellsworth County Medical Center publicly announced Jan. 4 that Dr. Katie McWilliams would resign from her position at ECMC effective March 8. CEO of ECMC Jim Kirkbride accepted Dr. McWilliams’ resignation and expressed his gratitude for her leadership during her time at ECMC.

“It’s never easy seeing a caring physician leave, but we wish her the best of luck in all her future endeavors,” Kirdbride said.

McWilliams has prac- ticed Family Medicine at ECMC since Aug. 1, 2013. During her tenure, she has served as a member of the ECMC medical group, mentor, chief of staff, wound care specialist and most recently as inpatient hospitalist.

The human resources department has been actively recruiting to meet future needs for potential retirements, and will continue those efforts to replace McWilliams.

If McWilliams has been your primary care provider in the past, all medical data will remain with ECMC. To request medical records, please contact the health information management department at (785) 8101116.
