What new services will be coming? This expansion will allow CMH to continue to grow, bringing new services and advanced technology and equipment to the community. The CMH Board is focused on providing those specialties that are appropriate for a rural facility to offer and keeping patients from having to travel out of the area for care. Some services we plan on adding include: • Robotic surgery • Dedicated interventional radiology suite • Additional telemedicine services with OHSU • Increased mammography services • Dedicated imaging equipment in the Emergency Department • Increased access to advanced imaging with new CT, MRI and PET CT machines • Safer rooms in the Emergency Department that will allow caregivers to accommodate a broader spectrum of patient types and acuity levels • Dedicated Observation unit • Beautiful, new OB suites, with private labor tubs in each room • Expanded access to surgery and outpatient procedures The Board of Trustees completed significant due diligence on the appropriate number of beds. Twentyfive inpatient beds were reaffirmed, and we believe our 25 beds meet the inpatient need for the area into the future. The new facility will be designed in a manner to account for the modern shift into more of an outpatient care model, including many additional Emergency, Observation and Same Day Surgery rooms.
