Vernon
Memorial Healthcare includes
Vernon Memorial Hospital, a critical
access hospital with 25 beds, and its
five area clinics - Bland, Hirsch,
LaFarge, Kickapoo, and VMH Family Practice and Complementary Medicine. It also includes two pharmacies and a Wellness Center.
VMH has a full range of services from
kidney dialysis to physical therapy
to a 24-hour emergency department,
an After Hours Clinic, comprehensive
imaging services, cardio-pulmonary
testing and rehabilitation, and much
more. An examination of this website
will acquaint the reader with the full
scope of operations.
Established in 1951, this healthcare
organization is prospering and expanding as its service
area grows.
VMH
continues to adequately serve its growing
population at the same time it maintains
its financial stability. In
an era of health care crisis, this facility
is financially stable.
New state-of -the-art surgery suites were opened early in 2004 in the hospital.
A new surgeon
joined the surgery staff. Currently, an orthopaedic
surgeon, and three general surgeons operate in the new suites.
The VMH
campus includes a new three story
Medical Office Building, completed
in Spring, 2006, which is adjacent to the hospital and physically connected via a link to the hospital.
This building greatly enhances
and consolidates
medical services at VMH. Affiliations
with Gundersen Lutheran Healthcare
in LaCrosse, and with their clinic
in Viroqua, are an important aspect
of the new facility.
VMH
is a unique rural healthcare system. In a time of huge organizations and
the
depersonalization of patient care,
this moderate-sized organization offers
meaningful provider-patient relations
in a totally
modern setting. A high-level
of care is the STANDARD at VMH. Providers
and staff are as dedicated as they
are professional. VMH's patients give
it high marks in every category of
care. Its employees often have long
tenures. |
