We thank you for trusting us to care for you and your loved ones. Kevin A. Leeper CEO, Morris County Hospital Our History In 1917 the first hospital of Morris County was established by Dr. Bert Elba Miller. It was called the Council Grove Hospital. It was an old house remolded with 10 patient rooms and staffed by Dr. B. E. Miller and two nurses, Bell Benson, RN and Gladys Stillman, RN. Over the years Doctors James Woodmansee and C.C. Kerr joined him in practice in the county Dr. William McCunniff, Dr. Roy Drake, Dr. Robert W. Blackburn & Dr. B.A. Yost. On the hospitals first board of trustees appointed by the County Commissioners were Frank Warnica, George Blythe, W.E. Hembrow, and R.E. Griffith. An architect was hired July 1947 to draw plans for a hospital on North Washington Street, Council Grove. A petition circulated requesting that the county take over the Dr. Miller Hospital. F. D. Ferguson was instrumental in this petition and presented it to the County Commissioners, on October 11, 1948. The Commissioners rejected the request but reversed the decision in December 1948. The county took over the operations of the Council Grove Hospital (Dr. Miller’s Hospital) in January 1949. After 8 years of planning the Hospital on the hill was started. The project was to cost $419,885. May 1953 the hospital received $167,954 in Federal Funding and $253,375 in county funding. The ground breaking was held on May 25, 1953. The building was dedicated August 22, 1954 and patients were moved from the (Miller Hospital) Council Grove Hospital to the Morris County Hospital. Additions were added in 1958, 1978, 1994, 2001, 2006, and 2011. With the addition of physicians, the space was running out. There were great changes in technology in health care since the 1960’s. Back then, nearly all hospitals were 100 percent inpatient services. Times had changed; 80-85% of patients were treated as outpatients in 2000. On March 15, 2001 Ground Breaking Ceremony of the Morris County Hospital Renovation/Expansion Project was held for the largest expansion project. The renovation project estimated at 6.3 mil. took three years. In 2007, the Morris County Hospital became a Critical Access Hospital. In February 2007 the Foundation held a Capital Campaign. The Campaign funds to be used to purchase the Electronic Medical Records System, CT Scanner, Mammography Machine, PACS system (Picture Archival Computer System) MRI and an addition to the Family Health Center to accommodate the physicians, patients and staff. Morris County Hospital continues to keep up with modern technology and provide services at our hospital so patients don’t have to travel great distance for care and therapy.

Gift Shop Patients & visitors may purchase gift items at the auxiliary gift shop, located the main lobby. Vending Machines Vending machines are located by the Emergency Room Visitor seating area. Spiritual/Psychosocial Services If you wish, we will notify your pastor that you are in the hospital. We also have ministers from the ministerial alliance that are willing to visit you if your pastor is not available. Meditation Room The Meditation room is a place for peaceful reflection in times of need. Provided by the Ministerial Alliance. Visitor Guidelines We encourage visits by family and friends. They are an important part of your recovery. Please understand that there are times when visitors should be limited due to patients condition and treatment. Your sensitivity and cooperation are appreciated. Children and adults who are ill or have colds are asked not to visit. Smoking Morris County Hospital is a smoke-free facility. We recognize our responsibility to provide our patients, visitors and employees with a healthy and safe environment. We appreciate your cooperation. No Smoking or Tobacco use is allowed on Morris County Hospital Property. During your hospital stay, you can expect many people to walk in and out of your room: physicians, nurses, technicians, food service aides, and other hospital employees, and of course visitors. The friends and family who come to see you can be a great source of comfort, but they can also be disruptive and may insist on talking to you when you’re tired, uncomfortable, or just not in the mood for guests. Here are some coping strategies: Urge people to call before visiting so you can tell them what time would be convenient or that you’re not feeling up to having company Don’t feel obligated to see everyone who wants to visit. Don’t feel that you have to respond to prying questions. Give vague answers, such as “They’re working on that,” or “They’re waiting for test results.” If pressed, say “I’d rather not talk about that.” Then bring up another subject. Encourage visitors to talk about themselves. That takes the focus off topics you’d rather not discuss. Be aware that according to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, your family and friends have no right to medical information about you without your authorization, and the staff should not be expected to give them any such information. Ask people who have a cold or any other communicable illness to stay away. Don’t argue with visitors who think they have all the answers about the best way to treat your illness. If you want to limit your visits to, for example, close relatives, ask a nurse to post a sign saying, “Immediate family only.” Or you can request a sign that reads, “No visitors. Inquire at the nurses desk.” Don’t hesitate to tell visitors that the visit is over. A remark such as “I need to rest now” should suffice. Discharge Planning You will be assisted in developing a plan for discharge. The Discharge Planner will talk with you about expected post hospital care needs, develop an appropriate plan of care with you and your family, and assist in making arrangements. Arrange in-home services if needed such as bath-aid, physical or occupational therapy and housekeeping. Will also make arrangements for hospice, medal equipment, oxygen or transfers to nursing homes or other facilities. Advance Directives Advance Directives are documents which state your choices about medical treatment or name someone to make decisions about your medical treatment, if you are unable to make these decisions and choices yourself. They are called advance directives, because they are signed in advance to let your doctor and other health care providers know your wishes concerning medical treatment. Through advance directives, you can make decisions about your future medical care. Kansas law recognizes two types of advance directives, a Living Will and a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. If you would like more information or have questions about advance directives, please ask to speak to our hospital Discharge Planner. The Discharge Planner is also available to assist you in executing these documents. Forms are available and may be completed at the hospital. Living Will Declaration Power of Attorney Indigent Drug Program Program available to those with no prescription drug coverage. Must have local doctor and meet certain program criteria.

  • Aquatic Therapy | MCH Rehab Center

    MCH Rehab Center Aquatic Therapy What is Aquatic Therapy? Experienced therapists are waiting to help in a state-of-the-art facility featuring an underwater camera system, assisted entrance and exit, a temperature-controlled environment, a removable floor for depth control, and water currents with variable speeds. Aquatic therapy is often used in conjunction with traditional land-based therapy to enhance and restore a person's functional abilities. Populations that may benefit range from children to older adults. Oftentimes, patients may regain their quality of life faster and more thoroughly than with land therapy alone. How does aquatic therapy promote healing? Buoyancy The buoyancy of water provides support, allowing a patient to move more easily. This can reduce apprehension about movement. Heat Aquatic therapy is provided in a heated pool with temperatures ranging from 92-94 degrees. Exercising in warm water increases blood flow and oxygen delivery to the injury, which promotes healing. Hydrostatic Pressure Pressure from water molecules surrounding the body helps circulate blood from the legs to the heart, often reducing swelling in the ankles and feet. Resistance Water resistance improves balance and strength in all muscle directions, as well as increasing sensory awareness. Resistance can be tailored to each individual patient based on the speed of movement. Benefits of Aquatic Therapy... Accelerate healing Decrease apprehension to movement Initiate rehab at an earlier stage; therefore returning to activities of daily living in the shortest possible time Decrease rehabilitation time and overall treatment costs Enhance exercise and create a safe environment for progressive rehabilitation Improve tolerance to weight-bearing activity Goals of Aquatic Therapy... Improve confidence during daily functional activities Improve cardiovascular function and endurance Improve muscle strength Reduce stress Increase range of motion and flexibility Improve balance and coordination Who can be helped with Aquatic Therapy?

With the support of the Morris County Hospital Foundation, we provide comfort, dignity, and encouragement to women facing a cancer diagnosis. Each woman receives a thoughtful gift along with information about wigs, financial grants, and local resources—small but meaningful reminders that she is not alone. Breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomies and lumpectomies at MCH are offered a Pink Box—a carefully assembled gift designed to support women during their surgical journey. Each box includes practical recovery items such as a drain-holding camisole, shower lanyards, seatbelt cushion, and mastectomy care tools, along with breast cancer awareness items. Pink Boxes are made possible by the generous support of the Hospital Auxiliary and the Mammography Department, offering both comfort and hope during an overwhelming time. We are also proud to partner with The Cancer Research Foundation to provide patient bags as part of our lung cancer screening program for those diagnosed with lung cancer. These bags are designed to offer encouragement, resources, and reassurance at a moment when patients may feel frightened and uncertain- reminding them they are supported from the very beginning of their journey. Beyond cancer care, we are excited to partner with our local school to expand our mission to empower young women by providing makeup and hygiene products to those in need. We believe confidence matters, self-worth matters, and every young woman deserves to feel seen and supported. Through every project, our goal remains the same: to surround local women in need with compassion, strength, and a community that truly cares. Our Radiology Services CT Scan (Computed Tomography) Computed Tomography is a sophisticated form of x-ray imaging that provides pictures of the body in a series of slices. A CT scan shows clear images of bone, internal organs, muscles and blood vessels which allows doctors to distinguish between normal, diseased, or injured tissue. Learn More DEXA Scan (Bone Density) DEXA scans measure your bone density with a low dose of radiation, which is interpreted by sophisticated computer analysis. Your test results will assist your physician in determining whether you need treatment for bone loss. Learn More Diagnostic Radiology An x-ray image is produced when a small amount of radiation passes through the body. Your provider may order an x-ray to help diagnose an injury or disease in nearly any part of the body. Learn More Mammography This procedure uses very low doses of radiation to obtain images of the breasts, allowing doctors to detect small cancers even before they can be felt. Learn More MRI MRI provides excellent images without radiation exposure by using a super conductive electromagnet, radio waves and sophisticated computer software to generate and enhance images. The result is an unprecedented view of internal organs, body structure and systems which provide detailed images needed to make an accurate diagnosis. Learn More Nuclear Medicine Nuclear medicine comprises diagnostic examinations that result in images of body anatomy and function. The images are developed based on the detection of energy emitted from a radioactive substance given to the patient, either intravenously or by mouth. Generally, radiation to the patient is similar to that resulting from standard x-ray examinations. Learn More Ultrasound Ultrasound uses a hand-held probe to send high frequency sound waves into your body, then sophisticated software displays an image of the body’s interior by the rate at which the echoes return to the probe.
