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. Board of Directors David Senne Chairman Steve Morgan Angela Harris Vice Chairman Rita Noll Heather Honas Secretary Tom Moxley Marty Wright Meeting Morris County Hospital Foundation The Morris County Hospital Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, was founded in 1987 by the Morris County Hospital Board. The goal of the Foundation is to raise funds for the support of Morris County Hospital and its programs in Morris County and the surrounding areas. Since the beginning, the Foundation has purchased or built three satellite clinics, providing services in Alta Vista, White City, and Cottonwood Falls. The foundation has raised money for the hospital including the latest Emergency Room Expansion/Renovation Project 2018. This project also included the OB Rooms, two ADA Rooms, Helipad Ambulance, and a Secure Room. The Foundation is currently helping to raise funds for a 3D Mammography machine that we hope to purchase in 2023 for the Radiology department.

MCH Radiology Department MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) 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. Our MRI suite offers a 1.5 Tesla Magnet, a full-field magnet with advanced software applications. To maximize patient comfort, we also offer a stereo system! The headphones can play the music of your choice and allow the MRI staff to communicate with you during your scan. Hours A scheduled appointment is required. Procedures We perform a wide range of MRI scans as well as special procedures such as arthrograms and angiography. Frequently Asked Questions... What to Expect During Your MRI... The technologist will constantly be in touch with you via intercom. You’ll lie down on the MRI table, which will move into the scanner. During the exam, you may feel a slight vibration and hear a series of rhythmic knocking or hammering sounds. This is all normal. Some MRI exams require the injection of a contrast dye, which assists the Radiologist in obtaining optimal images to make a diagnosis. Most exams take about an hour. How Do I Prepare for a MRI? When scheduling you will be asked the following questions... Do you have a history of metal to your eyes? If you have previously had any metal in or removed from your eyes, you may have to undergo an x-ray of the eyes to verify it is safe for you to have an MRI Do you have heart stents, pacemakers, or other implanted devices? Patients with an implanted device should never enter an MRI suite without being cleared by the MRI technologist or the radiologist in charge Have you had a recent surgery in the last 6 weeks? For safety reasons, a patient cannot have an MRI until 6 weeks post-op. If your exam is ordered with MRI contrast, you may need lab work prior to the exam to verify your kidneys are in good functioning condition. You’ll also need to remove all metal, jewelry, snaps, zippers, pens, pocket knives, pagers, cell phones, guns, ammunition and the like. Any questions regarding MRI safety should be directed to the technologist or radiologist in charge for the day. We offer online sharing of your medical images using Nuance Powershare. This service allows us to share images with your provider in a secure and convenient way! All imaging will be sent to the physicians of Manhattan Radiology to be read and reported. Your ordering provider will have your report within 24 to 48 hours. Your provider should contact you with your results. All services require a written order from a physician in good standing and licensed to practice medicine in the State of Kansas. Return to MCH Radiology Department Return to All MCH Services

MCH Radiology Department 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. MCH is proud to announce the arrival of our 3D Mammography Machine! Our mammography Department is an FDA Certified Facility and credentialed by the American College of Radiology. Screening Mammogram Hours Monday-Friday, 9am - 4pm A scheduled appointment is preferred but not required. Diagnostic Mammogram Hours Tuesday & Friday mornings when a Radiologist is present. An appointment is required for these exams. Softer Mammography We are proud to offer every woman a softer mammogram. Morris County Hospital is certified as a Softer Mammogram Provider®, a distinction awarded only to an elite group of healthcare facilities that offer MammoPad as standard of care. We provide every woman with MammoPad®, a foam pad that serves as a cushion between you and the mammography machine. This comfort technology improves your mammogram experience by decreasing the pain associated with the exam. The MammoPad breast cushion was designed for women by a female breast surgeon. It is FDA-cleared, does not impair image quality, and makes it easier for you to relax during your exam which helps our highly skilled mammography technologists achieve the best possible mammogram. Clinical studies prove that MammoPad significantly reduces the discomfort and cold that many women feel during a mammogram. About 70% of women reported it reduced their discomfort by half. THIS PROGRAM IS OFFERED AT NO EXTRA CHARGE TO OUR PATIENTS, THROUGH THE GRACIOUS WORK OF THE MORRIS COUNTY HOSPITAL AUXILIARY. Frequently Asked Questions... Do I need a Screening or Diagnostic Mammogram? A Screening Mammogram is performed if you are not symptomatic of breast cancer. A Diagnostic Mammogram is performed if you have lumps, skin changes, nipple discharge, a history of breast cancer or other symptoms/special conditions. What to Expect During a Mammogram? Screening mammogram (for women without disease symptoms): You will change into a gown, and each breast will be compressed for a few seconds while x-rays are taken. Compression can be uncomfortable but it should not be painful. Compression is important because it separates the overlying breast tissue and reduces the exposure from the x-rays. A woman may be called back after a screening mammogram for additional mammography views or ultrasound imaging to get a better view of a particular area. These diagnostic images are taken on Tuesday and Friday mornings when the Radiologist is present and able to give immediate results. Diagnostic mammogram (for women with lumps, skin changes, discharge, a history of breast cancer or other symptoms/special conditions): A diagnostic mammogram is essentially the same procedure as a screening mammogram but may include additional views or special techniques to magnify suspicious areas or obtain a better analysis of the breast tissue. How Long Does a Mammogram Take? A screening mammogram takes from 15-30 minutes. A diagnostic mammogram may take up to one hour. How Do I Prepare for a Mammogram? We recommend you not wear deodorant or powder on your breasts. Many of these products contain metals that can show up as calcifications in your breast. Wear comfortable clothing; a two-piece outfit is usually the best, as you will be asked to undress from the waist up. You can have your mammogram anytime but it’s a good idea not to schedule your mammogram just before or during your menstrual period, especially if you have breast pain at that time Early Detection Works or Free Mammograms... Free Mammograms & Pap Tests are provided to women using the Early Detection Works Program. Early Detection Works is for women who: Are 40 to 64 years old for breast cancer or Are 21 to 64 years old for cervical cancer Do not have health insurance and meet the income guidelines.

MCH Radiology Department Nuclear Medicine As of 2023, MCH is proud to offer in house nuclear medicine! General 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. Cardiac Nuclear Medicine: A nuclear stress test is a procedure that checks the blood flow to the heart and how well your heart is beating. You will receive a small, safe amount of radioactive medication that circulates to the heart muscle. A special camera is used to measure how well this medication spreads throughout the heart. Hours The following exams are available every Thursday: Bone Imaging Cardiac Blood Pool Single Cardiac Rest/Stress Testing Gastric Emptying Study Gastrointestinal Blood Loss Imaging Hepatobiliary Imaging Intestine Imaging Kidney Imaging Parathyroid Study Pulmonary Perfusion Imaging Thyroid Imaging An appointment is required for these exams and start time is dependent on the exam being performed. Frequently Asked Questions... How Do I Prepare for a Nuclear Study? Some Nuclear Studies have a prep and some do not. When scheduling your appointment, you will be informed of any prep, we will also call you to remind you of your prep the day prior to your exam. What Does the Equipment Look Like? During most nuclear medicine examinations, you will lie down on a scanning table. Consequently, the only piece of equipment you may notice is the specialized nuclear imaging camera used during the procedure. It is enclosed in metallic housing designed to facilitate imaging of specific parts of the body. It can look like a large round metallic apparatus suspended from a tall, moveable post or a sleek one-piece metal arm that hangs over the examination table. A nearby computer console processes the data from the procedure. How Does the Procedure Work? You are given a small dose of radioactive material, usually intravenously but sometimes orally, that localizes in specific body organ systems. This compound, called a radiopharmaceutical agent or tracer, eventually collects in the organ and gives off energy as gamma rays. The gamma camera detects the rays and works with a computer to produce images and measurements of organs and tissues. We offer online sharing of your medical images using Nuance Powershare. This service allows us to share images with your provider in a secure and convenient way! All imaging will be sent to the physicians of Manhattan Radiology to be read and reported. Your ordering provider will have your report within 24 to 48 hours. Your provider should contact you with your results. All services require a written order from a physician in good standing and licensed to practice medicine in the State of Kansas. Return to MCH Radiology Department Return to All MCH Services
