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 the Citizens Memorial Health Care Foundation Empowering you to live your best, healthiest life 2024 was a great year, and I’m so proud of our amazing team of CMH employees, medical staff and volunteers! We made some incredible strides in quality and patient safety, and it’s great to see that our hard work has been recognized on a national level. Construction started on the new Dialysis Center, and the hospital expansion project is on schedule. It has also been wonderful to see our community growing and using our services more than ever. Our clinics provided over 320,000 visits in fiscal year 2024, and we saw a 9% increase in outpatient and emergency department visits and a 6% increase in surgeries. Vitality magazine is here to empower you with the knowledge you need to live your best, healthiest life. On pages 8–9, we’re thrilled to introduce the latest 3D mammography technology at our Breast Care Center in the Douglas Medical Center. New moms, learn how to prioritize wellness and mental health on pages 12–13. Finally, on page 14, we’ll help you understand when you or a loved one might need extra support through home health care. Celebrating our progress and momentum The year started with the 20th anniversary celebration of the CMH Senior Health Center and ended with the acquisition of two pharmacies to expand our retail pharmacy services. We’ve put together a video recap of our 2024 highlights at cmhbolivar.info/2024review. We’ve made so much progress in 2024, and we’re continuing that momentum in 2025. By the end of the year, we should be preparing to move into both the hospital expansion and the new dialysis center. I’m excited about all we have planned for 2025!
