2016 CHNA Implementation

2. Implementation
More Specialties/Providers – MGRMC is continuing its efforts to attract additional medical providers to the Gila Valley. In 2016, a Nurse Practitioner joined the Copper Mountain Clinic, a Gastroenterologist began part-time practice at the hospital, a new hospitalist was recruited in support of in-patient care, and a Physician’s Assistant was recruited for the Emergency Department. A Certified Nurse Mid-Wife joined Rex OBGYN. Currently, MGMRC is recruiting for a Family Practitioner as a provider and Medical Director of the Copper Mountain Clinic, a hospitalist, and an ED physician. Options for additional physician coverage through telemedicine are being explored.

3. Implementation
Drug Rehabilitation Services – MGRMC has provided financial support to the Graham County Substance Abuse Coalition in their efforts to combat opioid abuse and response in the Gila Valley. The hospital will also continue to be part of the ongoing community conversation with regard to this issue.

4. Implementation
Mental Health – MGRMC is currently investigating the feasibility of instituting Tele-Psych into our Emergency department.

5. Implementation
Enhanced Nutrition and Diabetes Services– In early 2017, the hospital employed a Registered Dietician on a full-time basis to oversee nutrition and diabetes services, replacing a part-time contract dietician. The hospital continues to sponsor and support the Gila Valley Diabetes Coalition which exists to increase awareness of and response to diabetes.

6. Implementation
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation – A community discussion regarding transportation is currently ongoing. MGRMC is committed to remaining an active participant in those conversations and solutions.

7. Implementation
Affordable Imaging and Laboratory Solutions – Hospital pricing is reviewed on a regular basis relative to cost and market conditions. The hospital’s prompt pay discount program and charity care program provide financial support.

8. Implementation
Expanded Cancer Treatment Options – MGRMC will once again review the financial feasibility of offering expanded oncology services through our Cancer Center. It is the mission of MGRMC to offer as many health care solutions locally as possible while maintaining a secure financial position so that the future of the organization is not compromised.
