We’d love to hear from you on social media facebook.com/citizensmemorial x.com/cmhbolivar instagram.com/cmhbolivar linkedin.com/company/citizens-memorial-healthcare Michael Calhoun, CEO/Executive Director Citizens Memorial Hospital and Citizens Memorial Health Care Foundation Excellence close to home At Citizens Memorial Hospital, our mission has always been simple: provide exceptional care close to home. As you’ll see throughout this issue of Vitality, that commitment continues to guide everything we do. This year, CMH has received several recognitions that reflect the dedication of our physicians, nurses and healthcare teams. Honors for stroke care, maternal health and transparency demonstrate our ongoing focus on quality, safety and delivering the best possible outcomes for patients. While awards are never our end goal, they are meaningful reminders that the care available here in our communities stands among the best. At the same time, we are focused on improving the future of rural healthcare. Through initiatives such as the Rural Health Transformation Program and our participation in the Show-Me High Value Network, we are working to strengthen access, improve care coordination and ensure our communities continue to have the services they need for generations to come. None of this happens without the support of the people we serve. I am grateful to the donors, volunteers, patients and community partners whose generosity helps make our mission possible. In this issue, you’ll find our Foundation Impact Report, which highlights the many ways community support is helping improve healthcare close to home. You’ll also discover practical health information on topics ranging from stress management and pregnancy wellness to heart and vascular health, nutrition and healthy living. Thank you for trusting CMH with your care. It is a privilege to serve you and your family.
