Providing healthcare for the communities we serve at Meadowview Regional Medical Center and Fleming County Hospital is a 24-hours-per-day, seven-days-per-week, 365-days-per-year calling.
The Mission for both of our hospitals is “Making Communities Healthier.” We would not be able to achieve that mission without the dedication of our employees and medical providers.
This year, Labor Day falls on Sept. 2 and it is the 125th anniversary of Labor Day being celebrated as a national holiday. Labor Day is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers.
We want to thank our healthcare teams for taking great care of our communities and each other, day after day, night after night. There are emergencies, inpatient admissions, surgeries, deliveries, endoscopies, heart attacks, outpatient tests such as labs, radiology and imaging services tests, sleep studies, physical therapy, rehab services, cancer care and others that are delivered every day in our communities.
At Meadowview Regional Medical Center, we have over 400 fulltime, part time and prn clinical and nonclinical employees working alongside 200-plus medical staff providers to care for our community members. Fleming County Hospital has over 100 fulltime, part time and prn clinical and nonclinical employees working alongside 100-plus medical staff providers. We are privileged to be able to care for our neighbors, friends, family and visitors in our communities.
Sometimes within the same span of an hours’ time period, we may be helping our patients and families celebrate a joyous occasion or a personal healthcare achievement, and the very next moment, comforting a patient or family member with some healthcare news that no one ever wants to hear. Healthcare workers, along with our patients experience a full range of emotions every day of the year.
It also takes all of our team members to properly care for our patients. From our registrars, to our discharge planners and everyone in between, we count on each other to help deliver patient care services for our communities.
Working in healthcare is a challenging and very rewarding career. Each of us at some point in our lives are going to need medical care. At Meadowview Regional Medical Center and Fleming County Hospital, we have dedicated employees and medical providers who go above and beyond while caring for our patients. I am honored and proud to serve alongside our team members and community partners.
During this Labor Day holiday, I want to thank our team members for your commitment to providing compassionate, quality patient care in achieving our Mission of “Making Communities Healthier.”
