An update from Mark Turner
CEO, Mountains Community Hospital
We are on track to meet the state’s 2030 seismic deadline. We are excited to announce that USDA has agreed to provide Mountains Community Hospital with low-interest, long-term financing for the construction of a new acute care wing, a new emergency department and an expansion of our skilled nursing facility.
This significant milestone marks a new chapter in our commitment to providing exceptional healthcare services to our community and meeting the state’s 2030 seismic deadline.
This project will expand our capacity to serve more patients and enhance the quality of care with state-of-the-art facilities.
The next steps in the construction process are immersive design meetings that engage our staff, providers, patients and the community to ensure we understand everyone’s needs and wants.
We are deeply grateful to the USDA for their support and confidence in our vision. We look forward to continuing our mission to improve the health and well-being of our community.
New lifesaving equipment
Five foundations – Stater Bros. Charities, JE Fehsenfeld Family Foundation, Inc., Mountain Sunrise Rotary Club of Lake Arrowhead, Ted Roy Charity Foundation and a family foundation that wishes to remain anonymous – have donated $178,000 to the MCH Foundation.
These donations will help the hospital purchase four new defibrillators and a hands-free communication system.
Defibrillators are life-saving tools we use daily. The ones we had were more than 11 years old and needed replacing. Reliable defibrillators can be the difference between life and death, making them an indispensable part of our emergency response.
The hands-free communication system will streamline hospital communications and improve staff and patient safety in our emergency, surgery and medical/surgery departments. Currently, staff must be near a phone to communicate. The hands-free system will enable staff to hear codes in real-time. If staff are in a room with an agitated patient, they can discreetly summon help via a panic button.
We are deeply grateful to our foundation partners for their support. Their generosity has made it possible for us to have the equipment we need to save lives.
