POPLAR BLUFF, MO - Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center (PBRMC) plays an integral role in Poplar Bluff and the surrounding communities thanks to the knowledgeable and compassionate people who work inside. During National Nurses Week (May 6-12) and National Hospital Week (May 7-13), PBRMC recognizes and celebrates our nurses and healthcare heroes for the difference they make each day with treats throughout the week, including a special celebration to commemorate the 10-year anniversary on its new campus at 3100 Oak Grove.

We are health care and our team members are energized by their work to fight illness and promote wellness for patients and our community.

Around the clock every day of the year, the hospital offers a safe environment for care thanks to our physical plant and environmental services staff who work to keep the building clean and comfortable.

To help you live healthier, our primary care physicians, imaging and lab workers deliver screening and diagnostics to keep your health on track.

When you are ill, our nurses, physicians and other providers work to help you get better with the treatment you need, whether surgery, physical therapy or inpatient care.

As your family is growing, our labor and delivery team helps you welcome new members with childbirth services.

Our emergency room physicians, nurses and other team members address your injuries or intervene with timely treatment of heart attack and stroke in a medical emergency.

In times of pandemic, natural disaster or major accidents, we coordinate with first responders, the health department and other area providers to protect our community and support recovery.

Helping people get well and live healthier is our purpose at PBRMC. I am proud of our providers who are here for you and serving as a part of our hometown health care team. I am grateful to all of the physicians and staff for the way they use their skills and compassion for the benefit of the individuals who are counting on us. Because of ALL of you, PBRMC is a beacon of hope and our building in its 10th year is a symbol of strength, healing and comfort.

Please join me in recognizing the extraordinary difference our caregiver team makes when we come together for you.

Rick Naegler is the chief executive officer of PBRMC.
