Citizens Memorial Healthcare (CMH) is a rural healthcare network. CMH provides comprehensive care to the residents of five counties in southwest Missouri. CMH refers to two affiliated corporate entities. Citizens Memorial Hospital District is a Missouri public hospital. Citizens Memorial Health Care Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. CMH provides the following services: hospital inpatient, outpatient, emergency room, ambulance, ambulatory surgery, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, primary care clinics and specialty clinics. CMH serves the residents of Polk, Hickory, Dallas, Dade and Cedar counties, along with residents in the surrounding geographical area. CMH is the largest employer in the five-county area with 1,550 employees. == History == Citizens Memorial Hospital opened in 1982. The hospital received accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospital with no deficiencies in 1983. Recognizing the needs for healthcare in the hospital's service area, CMH expanded to add home health services, home medical equipment programs, mammography equipment, hospice services, and ambulance services within the first 5 years. In 1986, the Citizens Memorial Health Care Foundation was established as a not-for-profit 501(c)3 entity. The Foundation aids and assists CMH in program and endowment development and operates a number of healthcare services. Within the next two years, CMH completed the third phase of construction, adding an outpatient wing, recovery rooms, clinic rooms, a registration area, community rooms and an area for rehabilitation services. By 1990, CMH was designated as a Level III Trauma Center. CMH also opened a residential care facility, satellite home medical equipment stores and physician clinics. Over the next five years, CMH continued to grow, adding more physician clinics, a Wellness Center, a long term skilled nursing facility and neurology services. CMH continued to expand services by becoming the home of Polk County's 911 service, adding a mobile MRI unit, health transit services and additional long term care facilities. CMH also partners with community groups to provide much needed services to the area, including a dialysis center and the Barceda Families program. In 2002, CMH upgraded the technology infrastructure to support an Electronic Medical Record. This allows patients to enter the system at any CMH facility and have a comprehensive medical record that is accessible to authorized clinicians throughout the system. CMH has continued to grow to meet the needs of the community. In 2008, CMH opened the Carrie J. Babb Cancer Center (with Central Care Cancer Center), and the Douglas Medical Center, which houses physician clinics, rehabilitation services and an Ambulatory Surgical Center. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Citizens Memorial Healthcare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
