Moberly Regional Medical Center is Vital to North Central Missouri

4/3/2024

Delivers essential medical services and broad impact to the larger community

MOBERLY, MO, April 3, 2024 – Over the course of 2023, Moberly Regional Medical Center and affiliated clinics played a vital role helping people get well and live healthier at more than 88 thousand patient encounters across its hospital and growing network of physician clinics and other outpatient sites of care.

At more than 11,700 emergency department visits each year, lifesaving medically necessary care is provided for all patients regardless of their ability to pay. Members of the community who cannot fully afford their medical care are provided deep discounts or even charity care and the hospital has resources to help them secure medications and medical support devices. Last year, Moberly Regional Medical Center provided more than $6.8 million in charity and uncompensated care for the community’s most vulnerable.

“The employees and medical staff at Moberly Regional Medical Center play a vital role in our community each and every day of the year to help people get well and live healthier,” said Michael Hall, chief executive officer for Moberly Regional Medical Center. “Regardless of holidays, challenging weather, or the hour of the day, our dedicated team of clinicians and caregivers are compassionately using their skills and experience to serve those patients who are counting on us.”

Other support for social determinants of health in the community includes financial donations for charitable organizations such as Friends of the Park, Randolph County Ministerial Alliance, and Faith Bridge Moberly, and acts of service such as the Jars of Love drive collecting over 950 jars of peanut and other nut butters for the Christos Center.

With a shared commitment for improving rural access to quality healthcare, Moberly Regional Medical Center and University of Missouri Health Care (MU Health Care) have formed a strategic relationship designed to increase access to specialty services and enhance healthcare for people living in northeastern Missouri. The alignment builds upon an existing relationship MU Health Care and Moberly Regional Medical Center have in which MU Health Care physicians staff Moberly Regional’s Emergency Department to ensure immediate access to high-level care in a medical crisis and the ability to tap into University Hospital’s Level 1 trauma center, Level 1 STEMI center and Comprehensive Stroke Center.

Moberly Regional Medical Center applies its resources to medical services, facilities and technologies that patients want to access close to home. With three robotically-trained surgeons, robotic surgery is offered for procedures such as gallbladder, appendectomy, hernia, hysterectomy and more. Civic resources and services are supported by Moberly Regional Medical Center’s tax payments of nearly $3.2 million and the payroll of more than $25.6 million ripples across the local economy as employees buy goods and services.

Workforce development remains a priority and strong relationships with local nursing programs. Investments are being made to help team members achieve their personal and professional goals through assistance with student loan repayments, as well as tuition reimbursement.

Hall continued, “The care we provide is only one part of the broad impact we have that adds up to more than $37 million in community benefits last year. Recognizing that our services are essential to this community, we are committed to doing all we can to provide quality health care and make North Central Missouri a healthier, better place.”
