Hopkins County Memorial Hospital, a 96 bed
facility, has served the citizens of Hopkins County for
61 years.
Memorial Hospital is dedicated to providing medical care
to the 30,000 residents who live within the 800 square
miles of Hopkins County and neighboring counties.
Our vision is to
be the leader in Northeast Texas by offering high
quality hospital physician services that meet the
healthcare needs of our region and that our patients
will recommend to others.
Supported by a staff of more
than 40 physicians, Memorial Hospital offers a wide
spectrum of services including a full service emergency
department that is staffed 24 hours a day and a mobile
intensive care ambulance service. The hospital’s
Intensive Care Unit includes 10 beds (six critical care
beds and four step-down beds). Other specialty services
include inpatient and outpatient surgery, diagnostic
imaging, pathology, obstetrics, physical medicine and
rehabilitation, intensive care, and respiratory
therapy. Physicians in the outpatient department
specialize in gastroenterology, oncology, orthopedics,
pulmonology, urology and cardiology. Other
outpatient services include sleep studies, nuclear
stress testing, pulmonary function testing and a
catheterization laboratory. Hopkins County Hospice
provides care for terminally ill patients and their
families. It is a hospital-based,
physician-directed, nurse-coordinated home care approach
to the special needs of the terminally ill
patient.
Memorial Hospital’s Women’s Pavilion includes
eight labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum suites, two
surgery suites and a Level II nursery. The Day Surgery
Department features a pre-admit clinic for day-surgery
patients, operating rooms, gastroenterology procedure
rooms and urology procedure rooms.
The
Center for Acute Rehab Excellence (C.A.R.E.) Unit at
Memorial Hospital is a 10-bed acute, inpatient
rehabilitation program located on the lower floor of the
Women’s Pavilion. The CARE Unit provides
quality, comprehensive care for those recovering from
brain injury, stroke, major multiple trauma, amputation,
degenerative neurological disorders, orthopaedic injury,
arthritis, spinal cord injury, burns and congenital
deformities.
Memorial Medical Plaza is a 32,000-square-foot medical office building housing
the new HealthPlex at Memorial, a modern outpatient
physical rehabilitation center that offers comprehensive
rehabilitation services including a therapeutic pool.
The additional two floors accommodate physician
offices.
In
2006 HCMH opened the Wound Care at Memorial Center, a
comprehensive center for wound care and hyperbaric
medicine. Our specially trained staff at the
center is dedicated to providing comprehensive treatment
using the most technologically advanced wound care
therapy. In addition, we will provide valuable
education to the patients and caregivers to assist with
problem wound management. Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy is used as an adjunctive treatment for
problematic, non-healing wounds that meet specific
criteria, and it is expected that 20% of the wound care
cases will meet those criteria.
Hopkins County
Memorial Hospital completed a $36 million expansion in
the Spring, 2010.
This expansion created a new, much larger
emergency department and all private rooms. All of the
current patient rooms and support areas on the second
and third floors were gutted and remodeled. A new front
entrance, lobby, gift shop and communication area were
part of this expansion project.
The expansion encompassed 27,959 new square feet
and 39,098 renovated square feet.
Memorial
Hospital began a partnership with Dr. Jeffrey Gladden
with Advanced Heart Care.
This partnership offers a full range of cardiac
services to the citizens of Hopkins County.
The program includes a diagnostic cath
lab, where people who are otherwise healthy but have
symptoms that warrant a closer look can have testing
done.
The program will provide
interventional procedures, such as stents and balloons
to help clear blockage in blood vessels in the limbs and
coronary procedures. Treatments
such as pacemakers and implantable defibrillators will
also be available. “We will also provide nuclear
cardiology, echocardiograms and the peripheral vascular
testing that goes along with a full-scale cardiac
program,” says McAndrew.
On November 1, 2010, the Hopkins
County Hospital District and the Hopkins County Memorial
Hospital finalized the integration of Memorial Physician
Services and Sulphur Springs Medical Surgical Clinic.
These two clinics are now operating under the new
name Memorial Clinic.
Community Care at Memorial will also become part
of Memorial Clinic.
The parent company, Hopkins County
Physician Services, will oversee the operation of the
new Memorial Clinic.
Jim Bakken, FACMPE, has been appointed Chief
Administrative Officer for the organization.
J. Darryl Doughtie, M.D., Chairman of
Hopkins County Physician Services stated, “We are
excited to combine the medical talents of the physicians
of the two organizations.
Now family practitioners, specialists and other
healthcare professionals can work together to strengthen
health care in our community and the surrounding areas.”
According to Michael McAndrew, CEO of
Hopkins County Memorial Hospital, “It is essential that
our hospital and local physicians and providers work in
concert to provide affordable, quality medical care.
We believe this new partnership creates a strong
foundation to do just that.”
I.L. Balkcom, M.D., Medical Director
of the Sulphur Springs Medical and Surgical Clinic,
noted, “As a family practitioner I look forward
to a strong partnership that promotes teamwork and
communication between my fellow providers and the
hospital – all resulting in better care for my
patients.”
Memorial Hospital Mission statement
is to provide an exceptional patient experience through
quality patient-centered care and a work environment
that attracts and retains the best staff, physicians and
volunteers.
The
values we share at HCMH are service, safety, respect,
integrity, stewardship, compassion and positive
attitude. Not only do we treat each patient as a valued
individual, but we also show our commitment to patient
and family care, comfort, and convenience. At Hopkins
County Memorial Hospital, it is truly “Friends Caring
for Friends”, and that feeling comes through in the care
we deliver.
