Vice President/Chief financial officer Ed Clayton Chief information officer/Chief Security officer David Dawdy t Phelps County Regional Medical Center (PCRMC), we consistently try to offer opportunities for the betterment of our patients, employees and communities. We hope the opportunities presented at PCRMC are ones that help you become involved in educational courses; become acquainted with new physicians, equipment and programs; and introduce available resources to empower your healthcare decisions. With the idea of opportunity in mind, we have created this issue of Vim & Vigor to highlight ways that PCRMC presents chances for you and your loved ones to become more accustomed with our organization and learn a few more things about your health along the way. On pages 6–8 you can read about our Silver Eagles program, designed to help seniors 50 and older remain active and knowledgeable about health concerns; or turn to page 56 to learn about scholarship opportunities for local students going into healthcare fields, thanks to PCRMC’s Auxiliary and Volunteer Services department. Also in this issue, we introduce you to two of our new board-certified physicians: pulmonologist Dwight Look, M.D., and sports medicine specialist Marino Parra, M.D. Both bring specialized, patient-centered healthcare to the Rolla area; read more beginning on page 49. Nothing is more important than making healthcare as convenient as possible for our patients. With our new patient portal, PCRMC Passport, you can contact your doctor or medical staff, request patient refills, make appointments, and review your test results, just to name a few. And the best part? You can do all of this inside your own home, at a time suited to your schedule. Turn to page 4 to learn more. Our goal is to be your resource in your healthcare journey—one that provides a convenient and positive experience every time you walk through our doors or log on to pcrmc.com.
