Continued Dedicated Service to Our Community With only a week left in 2025, we can safely say that the looming wind-down period over the next busy family times leaves us mostly just a few moments to think of the new year ahead. The winter solstice was last Sunday, so a good piece of news is that the days are now back on the getting longer cycle. We’re also being privileged this year with a very mild few days, weather wise, so our thinking ahead can be done in relative comfort

Continued Dedicated Service to Our Community With the Holidays thick in our midst, we are readily reminded how busy our 21 st century December lives have gotten. Once again, it is all somewhat exhilarating and mind twisting at the same time. At MCH we try to fit in as much work as we can into fewer days, as time off is essential to accommodate the extra demands of the season. This year at MCH we are tasked with higher inpatient demands than normal, while our outpatient servi

Continued Dedicated Service to Our Community There is much for a busy hospital to be thankful for – number one, the great providers and staff we have that are striving to meet all the elevated demands – brought on by the bugs of late fall / early winter. We are thankful for the spirit of brotherhood in our small town and for the positive attitudes that mute the naysayers. We are thankful for technology and medicines that speed up recoveries, and we owe a lot of gratitude to t

Continued Dedicated Service to Our Community Who of you knew that yesterday was National Indian Pudding Day? Seeing no hands raised, I know some of you have heard that the last couple of weeks have honored our Radiology Techs, our Physician Assistants, and our Advanced Practice Nurses… all of whom play such important roles on our Healthcare Team! So, thank you very much: Corky, Deanna, Kirstin, Bailey, Tristyn, Isabel, Teresa, Deb, Carol, Lisa, Katie, Haley, and David – you a

Continued Dedicated Service to Our Community Another month is today passing us by, and with such, may your treats exceed your tricks. We have had a month of government shut down, but quite a busy month here at MCH, as we have had our highest month overnight census of this year, and very likely the highest revenue month of the year…all before an official first freeze!   We enjoyed the visit of our first of two new possible physicians, two days ago, and we thank Dr. Kayden Cart

Continued Dedicated Service to Our Community What great Fall weather we are experiencing, with no hallway complaints heard yet (hmm?). The fact that no serious raking has yet been required makes me a happy camper…watch the leaves turn and drop now, since I said such. At MCH, we have been a bit busier lately – it helps when the vacation season is at least behind us for a little while. One nice bit of news is that three newborns were delivered in our hospital last week, a rare
