Like the residents they serve, Ecumen Sand Prairie and Ecumen Prairie Hill senior living communities are only getting better with age. On Wednesday, the Sand Prairie campus celebrated a major 25th anniversary milestone and invited the community to join residents and staff for a sloppy joe dinner and a live polka performance celebrating the occasion.
