DCH To Host Wellness Week February 12-16, 2018
Decatur County Hospital will host Wellness Week February 12-16 from 7:00 am to 10:00 am each day. Each morning, the hospital (1405 NW Church Street) will be open for walk-ins to get the following tests:
DCH Corner – A New Vision for DCH
Most people are aware that virtually every organization has its own “mission, vision and value” statements that are intended to define that enterprise. This is especially true in healthcare, where such principles are developed so as to build trust for patients and within the greater community. This is important because we all place our very well-being in the hands of our healthcare providers and the organizations that employ them.
DCH Corner – Decatur County Hospital Earns ACR Ultrasound Accreditation
Decatur County Hospital has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in ultrasound as the result of an extensive review by the American College of Radiology (ACR). Ultrasound imaging, also known as sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of internal body parts to help providers diagnose illness, injury or other medical problems.
DCH Corner – Blood Donation FAQs
Blood is traditionally in short supply during the winter months—especially January—due to the holidays, travel schedules, inclement weather, and illness. A reduction in donor turnout can put our nation’s blood inventory at a critical low.
DCH Corner – Help Us Celebrate Our Loyal Employees
The greatest asset to Decatur County Hospital, and our ability to provide exceptional care, close to home, is our employees. Each year, we congratulate and thank employees celebrating a milestone in their service to DCH and our patients. As we near the end of the year, we want to recognize these employees who commit to our patients each day.
Help Us Celebrate
On December 14, 2012, the employees of Decatur County Hospital were performing tasks outside of their regular duties. Most of them were charged with moving boxes, furniture and supplies into the new hospital building. Five years later, it’s astonishing to look back at how far Decatur County Hospital has come, with many advances in services due to the new building.
DCH Corner – It’s a Wonderful Time of Year to Give Back
As we near closer to the holiday season, we encourage you to take a few minutes to think about all the blessings in your life, and how fortunate you and your family are.
Important Information for AmeriHealth Caritas Patients
As a Decatur County Hospital patient, we are committed to you; and we care about your health and the health of your family. This is why keeping you informed about a recent change involving your health care plan is important to us.
Dine with DCH Recap
On September 12, we welcomed 30 attendees to the DCH cafeteria for our Dine with DCH event. The evening began with a celebration and presentation by the DCH Auxiliary. In 2011, the Auxiliary pledged $80,000 to DCH, and at the September 12 event, the remaining $5,000 of that commitment was presented.
DCH Auxiliary Completes $80,000 Pledge to Decatur County Hospital
IT IS DONE!!!
The Decatur County Hospital Auxiliary is giving a sigh of relief. In 2011, we made a pledge to the New Hospital Fund for $80,000.00. Yes, $80,000.00. This would justify the space allocated to our ‘Just Because’ gift shop in the lobby.
