We love our hospital!!!

👏 A Recognition Worth Celebrating 👏

We are excited to share that our hospital has earned Bronze Status in the American Heart Association's "Get With The Guidelines®" – STEMI Referring program.

What does that mean? It means our team is helping heart attack patients get the right care as quickly as possible when they need to be transferred to another hospital for treatment. When it comes to a serious heart attack, every minute counts.

This award is based on our first round of data reporting. In other words, this recognition reflects the quality of care our team was already delivering before making any major changes or improvements. We only go up from here!

We also want to give a special shout-out to Tamara M, RN. Tamara spent many extra hours helping collect and report important information that helped us earn this award. Her hard work and commitment to patient care made a real difference.

WAY TO GO TAMARA and the entire Emergency Department! 💯 We’re so proud of you!

Small Town. Big Heart. Real Impact. KMHC Cares. 🩵
