Ottumwa Regional Health Center is proud to be a part of Southeast Iowa and we are driven by our mission of making communities healthier.® We are dedicated to providing high-quality care close to home and investing in our region’s overall well-being. Our teams are committed to embodying our core values and improving the health of all those we serve. We feel privileged to be part of this community, and we take seriously the role we play in providing compassionate, accessible care to patients and their families.
With your help, we are able to make a positive impact on our community in a number of ways. Each year, our Community Benefit Report provides an at-a-glance overview of how we are achieving our mission – both inside and outside our hospital walls.
2023 Community Benefits include:
| Adding 78 employed and independent providers | Inviting the best possible providers into our community and supporting them is essential to ensuring access to high-quality care. This year, we added providers in anesthesiology, cardiology, emergency and family medicine, OB/GYN, pathology, pediatrics, sleep medicine, teleneurology, telepsychology, teleradiology and more. |
| Making more than $5 million in capital improvements | By continually investing in our facilities, we’re helping to ensure that we continue to meet our community’s healthcare needs. This year’s investments included a da Vinci surgical robot, an Omnicell XT conversion, a Sensoscientific temperature monitoring system and the opening of our new Cath Lab. |
| Distributing a payroll of $42,284,558 to approximately 415 employees | We strive to create an environment where talent is recognized, job satisfaction is valued and our employees can effectively use their skills to provide high-quality care and services. |
| Donating more than $10.1 million in services to those in need | Delivering care to all of our neighbors, regardless of their ability to pay, is foundational to our mission and our commitment to our community. |
| Paying $6,544,949 in taxes | We are proud to be a leader in our region, and our dedication to ensuring fiscal responsibility extends both to our hospital and to our community. |
