Regional Medical Center | Thrive for Life | Winter 2017

3 / 16

To your health
This new year, I hope you
have found new joys and
new reasons to celebrate
life. Knowing that health
is our greatest wealth, I
hope you have resolved
to take steps to optimize
your own health. Here at
Regional Medical Center, it is our
goal to help you do just that.
In fiscal year 2016 (July 2015
through June 2016), more
than 57,000 people visited
our emergency rooms and we
had nearly 90,000 outpatient
visits. We helped deliver over
1,800 babies, and more than
13,500 people were admitted to
our hospitals. Each day, employees
and physicians collaborate here to
live our mission and make quality
care accessible for all we serve.
Every day is an opportunity
to make healthy changes that
can redefine your future. With
the many health care services
we offer, we are here to help.
In this issue, you’ll read about
important screenings for disease
and services that help you treat it.
You’ll meet new primary care and
specialty physicians located near
you. And you’ll learn about our
new facility, the Oxford Mediplex
(opening next month), that will
make a doctor visit or imaging and
laboratory tests more convenient.
On behalf of our employees
and physicians, thank you for
your continued support of and
trust in Regional Medical Center.
