Memorial Medical Center has been a cornerstone of health and well-being in Calhoun County for 75 years. As our region grows and evolves, ensuring access to local healthcare is more important than ever. Hear from hospital leaders and physicians about why having strong local healthcare infrastructure matters for the health and the economic well-being of everyone in our community.
“If we did not have a hospital in Calhoun County, I think we would lose more than just healthcare access. People would start to move away.” – Erin Clevenger, RN, CEO, Memorial Medical Center
From reducing travel time for routine checkups and chronic care needs to attracting new businesses and being family-friendly, the presence of a community hospital has a ripple effect throughout our local economy and our quality of life.
