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.

On this page... Amenities Visitors Guide Discharge Planning Patient Care Guide Patient Rights Becoming a Patient The Information in this section will answer some of the questions you may have if you are an inpatient with us. Patient Rooms Morris County Hospital’s patient rooms are all private, one patient rooms. They are very spacious with their own private restroom. Birthing Rooms Morris County Hospital has two all inclusive labor, delivery and postpartum suites equipped with a whirlpool bathtub.

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.
