You know us as the "hospital", the place to go in an emergency. The place to get your lab work done, the place to have a baby...but who are we? What is Mayers Memorial Hospital District (MMHD)?
For the next few posts, the blog "Always Caring, Always Here" will provide you with that information. MMHD is much more than "just a hospital." We are YOUR hospital!
MMHD is a district hospital. This means we are a public entity that provides community based healthcare services. We are governed by a locally elected board of trustees who are directly accountable to the community we serve.
Our Board:

To be designated as a CAH, a hospital must be located in a rural area, provide 24-hour emergency services, be located more than 35 miles from the nearest hospital and may have no more than 25 acute care beds.
