With the arrival of a vaccine, we remain optimistic that in time, we will move past the dark days of this pandemic. As our region’s not-for-profit healthcare provider, we continue to be prepared to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as cases continue to rise, needs evolve daily that place significant new demands on our health system and valued workforce. This includes adding additional intensive care unit (ICU) beds, developing more COVID-19 units to isolate and treat patients, increasing staffing, new policies and procedures, increased use of medical equipment and supplies, and of course, the support we provide those working the front lines.

We must prepare for what is ahead.

Now is the time for our community to come together—more so than we have already—to ensure our local health system is prepared to provide world-class care that has become our hallmark. No matter the increase in cases, with your help, we will stand ready to treat our loved ones, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and members of our community. 

The leadership and support from our community to Memorial Health System. We are pleased to share the Peoples Bank community matching gift challenge has been met. Peoples Bank matched the first $100,000 raised by community members, dollar-for-dollar.
