Family Practice
A chapel and family room were added in 1971 at a cost of $8,000. Many doctors and physician assistants came and went during the ensuing years, and the face of healthcare evolved along with the changes. In 1981, Dr. Ronald Whitmer's family practice joined the hospital, and in 1989 Dr. Dennis Kepka connected his family practice with the medical center. Surgeon Elias Hourani came to serve at the hospital in 1989.

Ultrasound
"I was an Emergency Room patient at Ellsworth County Medical Center. I received an ultrasound and x-rays. Then, I was shipped per ambulance to Great Bend Medical Center for a problematic gallbladder. Anyone that dealt with me was kind, warm, and caring. I have nothing but the highest praise for Ellsworth Medical Center."

Nuclear Medicine
Mammography
By the end of the 1980s, there were sharp decreases in the volume of patients utilizing the hospital. The second floor, which had seven beds licensed for skilled nursing care was decertified. That floor was then occupied by laundry, respiratory therapy, medical records, the director of nursing's office, physical therapy, the hospital auxiliary room, conference room, and mammography room. The fourth floor was typically not occupied but remained certified for 22 acute care beds. Despite the dramatic decrease in patient volume, the hospital continued to provide excellent care for area residents with Dr. Whitmer, Dr. Richards, and Chris Gardiner, PA-C on the medical staff, along with twenty courtesy staff physicians.
Computed Tomography
Construction endeavors and additions to ECMC did not stop with the move to Aylward Avenue. A new CT Scan Wing was added in 2000 due to the generosity of the Wenslow Kyler Estate. The Dennis Kepka Family Practice (Kanopolis, Wilson & Lucas clinics) joined ECMC in January of 2001, with the Ellsworth Medical Clinic (Dr. Ronald Whitmer's clinic) joining shortly thereafter in July of that same year. Groundbreaking for the Ellsworth Rural Health Clinic / Wellness Center was held in December 2002, with doors opening July 2004. The new clinic quickly became home for three physicians, two physician assistants and a nurse practitioner. Another addition came in August of 2005 when the county voted to purchase the Century Manufacturing building which is located just north of the medical center complex. The addition of the manufacturing building enabled many of the administrative offices, along with Health Information Management (medical records), to relocate into remodeled office space. The emptied office space was then converted into an Outpatient Services Area which opened in July of 2008.
