I live in the Ozark Mountain area of Southern Missouri. Our hospital has 220 beds and includes ER, ICU, OB/GYN, Peds, Mental Health, Urology, Medical, Surgery, Comprehensive Cardiac program, Physical Rehab and Ortho floors. My hometown has a population of 16,000. However, we have the ONLY hospital in a 75 mile radius. We care for patients from 6 different counties and man do we stay busy. Our yearly ER visits topped 35,000 last year and this year it has been even busier!
