CEOs Message
Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center is proud to be a member of our local communities. And as health care professionals, we see it as our duty to continue building the strongest possible medical center for the communities we serve. Along with providing patients compassionate and quality-focused care, we see the importance in offering support to our community far beyond just health care.
When it comes to healthcare, Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center is constantly striving to offer new services and technologies to support the ongoing needs of individuals within our community, diminishing the need to travel far distances for medical care. Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center is bringing the future of healthcare to the region, offering enhanced technology, easier accessibility and an expansion of healthcare services.
Within recent years, we have expanded advanced service lines and added millions of dollars in new technolgoy. Although we have made great strides, we are continually working towards further expansion of our service lines to help you and your loved ones and to meet our vision of being the healthcare provider of choice in Southeast Missouri.
It is in the best interests of Poplar Bluff and our neighboring communities that this health care system continues to grow and thrive. By being one of the largest employers in the area, Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center is able to be a strong supporter of employment opportunities within our community. We employ more than 1,200 individuals, with more than $72 million a year paid in salaries and benefits.
We feel our community deserves no less than the best health care available. To help achieve this goal, we continue to build strong partnerships with other community medical facilities working towards the same objective - to keep health care in Poplar Bluff and to leave little need for the majority of patients to ever leave our community to receive care.
Every day we continue to strive towards our mission of providing compassionate, quality-focused patient care within our hospital and being a strong supporter of our community. Our community and its members deserve no less than the best we can provide.
