Moberly Regional Medical Center Reports on its Care for North Central Missouri in 2025
3/23/2026
Total Impact Exceeded $44 Million
MOBERLY, Mo., March 23, 2026 – At nearly 86,000 patient encounters last year, Moberly Regional Medical Center delivered on its commitment to provide quality healthcare for Moberly and the surrounding communities. The health system’s 2025 Community Benefit Report shows care extended well beyond the hospital and clinics, contributing nearly $45 million to the region through charity/uncompensated care provided, capital dollars reinvested in services and facilities, employee payroll, charitable projects and payment of approximately $3 million in taxes to support local schools and civic resources.
The health system used its resources to increase access and strengthen services through more than $1.5 million in projects. With the addition of interventional cardiologist Prassana Sengodan, M.D., to the Moberly Regional Medical Staff, cardiology services have been expanded. Two surgeons trained in robotic-assisted surgery are now providing minimally invasive procedures for treating gallbladder, appendectomy, hernia, hysterectomy and more.
“We are here to care for our patients and the place we all call home,” said Ben Hughes, chief executive officer of Moberly Regional Medical Center. “Health is central to quality of life, and we offer advanced medical services here in North Central Missouri to make it easy to access the care you need. It’s our privilege to transform lives every day, helping patients manage their health at every stage of life.”
Keeping patients safe remains a priority, and this focus has led to five years without a hospital-acquired infection of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) and three years without a hospital-acquired infection for catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). MRMC also earned an A on the Leapfrog Patient Safety Grade during the Fall 2025 reporting period.
Emergency medicine is a critical service at MRMC, with more than 12,000 visits to the emergency room in 2025. Life-saving medically necessary care was provided to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay, with more than $11 million in charity and uncompensated care in 2025.
The health system and its employees also support local organizations that make a difference, especially those addressing social determinants of health. Through service projects such as the annual Jars of Love Peanut Butter drive for the Christos Center of Moberly and contributions to charitable organizations such as Community Kitchen of Moberly, Randolph County Ministerial Alliance, and Room at the Inn, Moberly Regional Medical Center gives back to the community throughout the year.
Payroll of more than $27 million supports the delivery of around the clock care by a team of physicians, nurses and support staff, all passionate about serving patients. Their compassion and skills make a difference in the lives of neighbors, friends and the larger community.
“We have immense gratitude for every member of our team, and we are investing in resources to support them in their work and a culture that attracts and retains these talented people,” said Hughes. “This team is passionate about delivering quality care to those who are counting on us. We have an unwavering commitment to patient safety, clinical excellence, and doing the right thing every day for those who trust us with their care.”
Support for the future healthcare workforce includes training the next generation of medical professionals as MRMC serves as a clinical rotation site for nursing, urology, gynecology, therapy and emergency medicine students at area colleges and universities including Moberly Area Community College, Truman State University and Central Methodist University.
