SPRING 2026 Expecting a baby? Here’s how CMH supports new parents Got GERD? Learn how to get lasting relief Transforming local care See what’s new in the hospital expansion
2 VITALITY Spring 2026 Our goal: Providing more personalized care As we prepare to open the new patient tower at Citizens Memorial Hospital, I am very pleased with the care, planning and teamwork behind every detail of this expansion. Along with the new space comes advanced technology designed to support our teams in their daily work. At its core, health care has always been about human connection. Technology does not replace that connection; it strengthens it by removing barriers that can get in the way. By reducing the time spent on paperwork and administrative tasks, our caregivers can focus on what matters most— spending quality time with patients and their families. I am deeply grateful for our caregivers and excited to see how this expansion will enhance the care we provide to our community. You can learn more about the new patient tower on pages 12 and 13. This issue of Vitality highlights the same focus on practical care and better outcomes. On page 6, we feature Aquablation therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia, an innovative treatment available only at CMH in our region. Page 10 explores post-traumatic stress disorder, its impact and available treatment options, including our use of EMDR therapy. On page 11, we break down common signs of GERD and how the Nissen and Toupet procedures may help certain patients. Together, these stories reflect our commitment to advanced care and to sharing information that helps our community make informed decisions about their health.

4 VITALITY Spring 2026 Opening doors for tomorrow’s nurses Bolivar Technical College (BTC) and Citizens Memorial Hospital (CMH) are making nursing education more flexible, supportive and attainable for students already working in health care. Many BTC students balance jobs, family and school. BTC keeps its small-town, personal approach—with oneon-one support, instructors who know you by name and help that is always available—while modernizing programs to fit today’s needs. Financial assistance One of the most meaningful investments BTC and CMH share is expanding financial aid assistance for students. The purpose is simple: No one should abandon their dream of becoming a nurse because of the cost. Students have access to traditional federal financial aid, as well as scholarships, tuition assistance and loan forgiveness programs from CMH. Hybrid courses and streamlined programs As of January 2026, hybrid courses combine online learning with in-person labs and clinical preparation, giving students more control over their schedules. Streamlined programs, like the RN Bridge, allow students to start sooner while completing prerequisites within the program. Paid clinical experience and residency Through the CMH Nurse Apprenticeship, students earn pay while completing clinical hours. After graduation, the Nurse Residency Program provides mentoring and guidance, helping new nurses transition confidently into practice. Want more info?

No matter what age you are, it’s a good time to think about how to protect your brain health and lower your chances of developing dementia. One major way to accomplish that: getting good-quality sleep every night. Sleep and your brain While you’re getting your ZZZs, your brain cycles through rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep. Each cycle turns different brain chemicals on and off, which helps your brain rest, recover and repair throughout the night. After a good night’s sleep, you feel refreshed, alert and ready to take on the day’s challenges. In other words, you have good cognitive function. But after just one or two nights of poor sleep, you might notice a reduction in your: ● Attention span. ● Alertness. ● Memory. ● Creativity. ● Judgment. ● Problem-solving skills. Long-term consequences So far, research on a possible link between sleep and brain health in humans isn’t conclusive. More and larger studies are needed to fully understand how sleep and brain health are connected. However, an increasing amount of evidence suggests that a chronic lack of adequate sleep can affect cognitive function in two significant ways: ● Alzheimer’s disease. Sleep helps your brain clear out beta-amyloid proteins, which are linked to Alzheimer’s. Sleep deprivation may increase the amount of these proteins in the brain. In people who already have Alzheimer’s, poor sleep might worsen their symptoms. ● Memory problems. REM and NREM sleep help strengthen your memories and your ability to recall information when you need it. Long-term sleep problems disturb that process. This may make it harder for you to remember facts or a logical sequence of steps. Ask your doctor how you can help keep your brain healthy—and let them know if you often have trouble getting a good night’s sleep. Sources: HelpGuide; National Institutes of Health; Sleep Foundation Dementia and sleep: A hidden link? Need help getting some ZZZs? For many people, sleep disorders are a chronic, nightly problem that lead to longlasting consequences. If you think you may have a sleep disorder, talk to your physician, who can refer you to the Missouri Sleep Institute for a sleep study.

6 VITALITY Spring 2026 Like a lot of guys over 50, you might be living with an enlarged prostate—what doctors call benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Getting up to use the bathroom several times a night is one of the hallmark signs. Your prostate normally grows as you get older. Sometimes it grows large enough to block urine flow. This can cause: ● Frequent urination, especially at night. ● Difficulty starting your urine flow. ● Dribbling urine. ● A weak urine stream. Your doctor can help you manage BPH with medications and lifestyle changes. But if that’s not enough to relieve your symptoms, your next option might be a minimally invasive procedure. What to know about Aquablation for treating BPH Are you looking for real answers about an enlarged prostate? Scan the QR code to watch a video about how this treatment works. You’ll learn what benign prostatic hyperplasia is, how it’s treated and how Aquablation offers a precise option for lasting relief. retrograde ejaculation (when semen flows backward into the bladder). How it’s done You will be given general anesthesia, so you won’t be awake. The doctor will insert a scope into your urethra and guide it to your prostate. Ultrasound helps the doctor map the areas of the prostate that need to be removed with the waterjet. “We know exactly the size, the shape, what we’re trying to remove and also what we want to avoid,” Dr. Walterskirchen says. After Aquablation, you’ll stay the night in the hospital. Your doctor will tell you when you can return to your usual activities. Take the first step CMH is the only facility between northwest Arkansas and Kansas City offering Aquablation therapy. If BPH is bothering you, ask your primary care provider for a referral to the CMH Urology Surgical Clinic. You can also call the clinic at 417-326-2550 or visit citizensmemorial.com for more information. Sources: American Academy of Family Physicians; Journal of Urology; Minerva Urology and Nephrology; Therapeutic Advances in Urology Relief without incisions In the past, men who needed surgery for their BPH often underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). TURP is still an effective treatment for BPH. But it’s not the only one. A newer option, called Aquablation, may have some advantages. Aquablation therapy uses a powerful waterjet instead of cutting or heating to remove excess prostate tissue blocking urine flow. “Because there is no heat involved, we can preserve and protect the important structures,” says Mark Walterskirchen, M.D., a board certified urologist with the CMH Urology Surgical Clinic. Some studies suggest Aquablation may lessen the risk of the sexual side effect called

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 cause of death for U.S. adults. Here’s what you need to know. Major types of cardiovascular disease Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque inside the arteries. Plaque buildup narrows the arteries, which makes it harder for blood to flow through. Heart attacks happen when blood flow to the heart is cut off by a blood clot. When blood doesn’t get to parts of the heart muscle, those parts begin to die. Heart failure does not mean your heart has stopped beating. Your heart is still working, but it isn’t doing its job—pumping oxygenated blood throughout your Strong hearts start here Meet the doctors who provide expert heart and vascular care at the CMH Heart Institute Clinic. Call 417-328-6040 to learn more or make an appointment with one of our heart doctors. John F. Best, M.D. Dishang Bhavsar, M.D. David J. Lemons, D.O. Haris Riaz, M.D. Do you know your cardiovascular disease risk? body—as well as it should. Heart valve disease is caused by valves that bulge, sag, or don’t open or close properly. As a result, your blood doesn’t flow through your heart normally. Arrhythmia is an abnormal heart rhythm. It can be too fast (known as tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia) or irregular. Arrhythmia affects your heart’s blood-pumping ability. Strokes can happen when blood flow to the brain is partly blocked or completely cut off, most often by blood clots. Without blood flow, brain cells begin to die. People who have strokes often lose some function, like talking, either temporarily or permanently. Understanding your risk Many factors can raise your risk for cardiovascular disease. Some factors you can’t control, like your age, ethnicity or a family history of the disease. Other risk factors may be within your power to change. The good news is that by taking steps to change the risk factors you can control, you can do a lot to lower your risk and improve your cardiovascular health. To start: ● Exercise regularly. ● Eat a healthy diet. ● If you smoke, plan to quit. ● Understand the risks of alcohol. ● Control your blood sugar. ● Maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Talk with your doctor about other ways you can lower your cardiovascular disease risk.

Scan the QR code or visit cmhbolivar.info/ emdr to learn more about behavioral health services and EMDR at CMH. Four behavioral health providers at CMH offer eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for patients with PTSD and other behavioral health disorders. EMDR involves bilateral stimulation, which can be tapping, eye movements or vibrations in your hands. The stimulation activates the trauma to let it move through your system. “After it’s moved and relocated, it’s no longer able to be activated in your system like it was before,” Sara Neal, PsyD, says. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects about 12 million people in the United States. And it’s not just military veterans. Survivors or witnesses of sexual assault, car accidents, natural disasters and other serious events can also develop PTSD. What does PTSD look like? While feelings of fear or stress are common after a trauma, people with PTSD often continue to feel these things long after the danger has passed. Symptoms usually start within the first three months of the traumatic experience, but they can sometimes begin later. Common signs include: ● Flashbacks, nightmares or distressing thoughts. ● Avoiding reminders of the trauma. ● Feeling tense or on edge. ● Trouble sleeping, eating or focusing. ● Negative thoughts about yourself or the world. ● Feeling isolated or disconnected. Treatment options that work ● Talk therapy. The most effective approaches focus on processing the trauma itself. Options include cognitive processing therapy, prolonged exposure, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). ● Medication. Antidepressant drugs may help manage symptoms. ● Complementary approaches. Practices that support overall mental wellness are sometimes helpful when used along with conventional treatments.

citizensmemorial.com 11 You may be familiar with terms like heartburn or acid reflux. They can be unpleasant to experience, but they are often misunderstood. Contrary to popular belief, they aren’t medical conditions—but they can be symptoms of one. Both are often symptoms of a condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. GERD is a chronic disease, meaning that it can last a long time and become worse if it isn’t treated correctly. It develops when food, acid and bile in your stomach move up into your esophagus. The esophagus is a tube that extends from your throat to your stomach. A muscle at the bottom of the esophagus normally keeps stomach contents where they belong. But if it isn’t working correctly, stomach contents can slide backward. This backward movement causes symptoms such as: ● Heartburn (a burning feeling in the chest). ● Regurgitation or acid reflux (the movement of stomach contents into your throat or mouth). ● Nausea. ● Chronic cough. ● Sore throat. ● Hoarseness. “GERD is not normal or something patients have to live with,” says Dylan Schwindt, M.D., a board certified general surgeon in practice at CMH General Surgery Clinic in Bolivar. “When symptoms persist, they can lead to serious complications and lasting damage from acid exposure, which is why early evaluation is so important.” Surgical options When lifestyle changes or medications are not enough, anti-reflux procedures like the Nissen or Toupet fundoplication can offer lasting relief and restore normal function. With minimally invasive surgical treatment, the surgeon fixes a hiatal hernia, if present, and wraps the upper part of the stomach around the lower part of the esophagus. This helps strengthen the muscle Heartburn and acid reflux: When symptoms signal GERD Find lasting relief To make an appointment with Dr. Schwindt, call the CMH General Surgery Clinic at 417-326-8700. that keeps stomach acid from flowing back up. The surgery is usually done using laparoscopic or robotic tools. These approaches use smaller cuts, which often means less pain and a quicker recovery. “It’s important for patients to undergo a full evaluation, including imaging, endoscopy and sometimes motility testing, to ensure the surgery is the right fit for their specific condition,” Dr. Schwindt says. “Advances in surgery over the years, especially with robotics, have made correction of GERD much easier and have given patients lasting results.”
12 VITALITY Spring 2026 See what’s new in the hospital expansion The new 117,000-square-foot patient tower at Citizens Memorial Hospital is opening soon, doubling the hospital’s size. More than an addition, the space is designed to transform how CMH delivers patient care. Through the front door: A warm welcome From the moment patients, families and community members enter, the new tower offers inviting spaces and convenient amenities: ● A second DJBean location, proudly serving Old Depot Coffee. ● The Gift Garden gift shop, operated by the CMH Auxiliary. ● A modern dining area with outdoor seating. ● Expanded cafeteria food options. ● A larger kitchen designed to support current needs and future growth. Technology integration The building design maximizes technology that allows care teams to spend more time connecting with patients: ● Interactive digital whiteboards display vital patient information and educational resources. ● An integrated call-light system shows when a nurse or technician is in a patient room and allows other staff to see who is with the patient. ● Card scan computer logins on in-room computers allow for real-time medical record documentation. ● Enhanced security features. Emergency treatment room Transforming patient care First floor: Emergency department (ED) care CMH’s ED has been treating more than 19,000 patients each year in a 12-bed unit that was too small for the patient volume. The ED now has 29 rooms, including several specialized spaces designed to better serve the community’s diverse needs: ● Four-bay ambulance garage (previously two). ● Triage rooms to quickly assess patients and prioritize care based on medical urgency. ● Fast-track rooms for patients with less severe conditions to allow for quick treatment. ● Seclusion rooms for the safe management of patients experiencing a behavioral health crisis. ● Trauma rooms for rapid assessment, stabilization and treatment of patients with severe, life-threatening injuries.
citizensmemorial.com 13 Second floor: Inpatient care Patients admitted to the hospital stay in one of three types of rooms, based on the level of care required. All units include bariatric rooms with enhanced accessibility features, including wider doors, larger bathrooms and in-ceiling lifts to transfer patients between the bed and restroom safely. The intensive care unit (ICU) provides the highest level of care for the most critically ill patients and offers: ● 16 ICU-capable rooms. The expansion doubles the number of ICU-capable rooms, addressing frequent capacity issues in the former eight-bed ICU. The unit design allows flexibility to use rooms for progressive care unit patients as needed. ● Rooms that are 72% larger, with a restroom in each room. ● Monitoring for all beds. ● A tele-intensivist program with ICU physicians available 24/7 for consultation. ● A staff workstation between every two rooms, providing additional computers and space to monitor patients. The progressive care unit is a step down from the ICU, caring for patients who need close monitoring but not the highest level of critical care. The medical/surgical unit serves patients who require the lowest level of inpatient care, including those staying overnight following surgery. It offers: ● 28 all-private rooms designed for privacy, comfort and healing. ● Rooms that are 36% larger. ● Fully accessible bathrooms. ● Telemetry, a form of cardiac monitoring, available in every room. Third floor: The Birth Place At CMH’s Birth Place, patients complete their labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum (LDRP) care in the same room. This model continues with the expansion, adding nine LDRP rooms, a 50% increase from the current six rooms. Features include: ● Rooms that are 43% larger. ● Triage rooms for patients who need evaluation or care but may not stay for delivery. ● In-unit cesarean section suite. ● Larger nursery and waiting areas. ● Enhanced security features. Intensive care unit Emergency department trauma room This expansion strengthens CMH’s commitment to compassionate care, supporting healthier communities today and a legacy of wellness for generations to come.
