We believe healing involves more than just repairing broken bones or bandaging wounds. It also involves the mind and spirit, which is why a Healing Garden is so important. The CCMH Foundation is creating a Healing Garden, just off the cafeteria, to benefit patients, visitors and staff. Click here for more information about the Healing Garden and how you can be a part of this special project.
A hospital is more than a place where people go to heal, it is a part of the community that fosters health and represents hope. From providing treatment and comfort to the sick, to welcoming new life into the world, hospitals are central to a healthy and optomistic community. That’s the message organizers are touting with the 2012 National Hospital Week theme “Making Miracles Happen.”

The event theme is the centerpiece of a promotional campaign aimed at uniting health care facilities across the country during the May 6–12 celebration. “National Hospital Week, first and foremost, is a celebration of people,” Pat Markham, CEO of Cass County Memorial Hospital said. “We’re extremely proud of each member of our staff and we recognize the important role they play in extending a sense of trust to our patients and our communities.”
Locally, Cass County Health System is made up of over 370 staff who reside in 28 different communities throughout Southwest Iowa. In addition, over 282 volunteers give of themselves throughout the year. During National Hospital Week 2012 we would like to introduce you to just a few of those professionals who exemplify the quality of care provided every day throughout Cass County Health System (CCHS).
As the largest employer in Cass County, CCHS provides much more than medical care. The $19.2 million paid annually in wages and benefits impacts the health and well-being not just of those employees and their families, but the area businesses where they shop, as well as schools, roads and other tax-supported community services.

You are the reason we are here, and we are proud to provide outstanding medical care to our friends, family and neighbors in southwest Iowa.

New Addition Progress: February 20, 2012
In March 2011, Cass County Health System embarked on a 30-month construction and renovation project. The project will begin with a 41,530 sq. ft. addition two-story addition with space for a new Emergency Department, Same Day Surgery Department, surgical suites, and inpatient units (medical/surgical, special care and obstetrics). Over 23,000 sq ft of existing space will be remodeled to improve and expand outpatient services. The final stage will be the demolition of 29,000 sq. feet of the original, outdated building.
