OPENING THOUGHTS Thank You for Trusting Us with Your Care A FAMILY HEALTH MAGAZINE FROM PHELPS COUNTY REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER CEO John R. Denbo Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Ellis Hawkins Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Don James, D.O. Senior Vice President and Chief Innovation/Strategy Officer Lynn Wieties A PCRMC is proud to be a world-class member of our community Senior Vice President for Finance and Chief Financial Officer Edward Clayton Board of Trustees Tom Bahr; Jo Ann Brand-Hoertel, R.N.; Albert Crump Jr.; Ted Day; John Park, Ph.D. Vim & Vigor Regional Editor Somer Overshon t Phelps County Regional Medical Center (PCRMC), we take pride in being a world-class healthcare facility while maintaining the feel and familiarity of a member of our community. What makes us unique, says Don James, D.O., senior vice president of medical affairs and chief medical ofﬁcer, is that “PCRMC is different than other health organizations because it is able to exist as part of the community.” (You can read more about Dr. James on page 4 and discover how he brought internal medicine to PCRMC 37 years ago.) Being a part of the community resonates with all of us working at PCRMC—our physicians, administration and employees—because all of us are members of the community as well. PCRMC exists as part of this wonderful community because of you—because of the relationship our organization has with you and your family. We are proud that you trust us with something as important as your health and the health of your family, and we strive to continually expand our resources through community commitment. In this issue, learn about how our ambulance services are dedicated to providing high-quality care while serving the community (page 6) and how PCRMC has a program to make sure patients seeking treatment in the ED are receiving the appropriate care (page 49). I hope you enjoy this issue of Vim & Vigor.
