Welcome to our Web Site. As you visit the various areas covered here, you will see that we have an excellent, highly qualified and caring staff throughout the organization. As the CEO, I am extremely proud of the staff, and the work that they do. It is also my privilege to serve with our Board of Trustees, a team of dedicated volunteers who are the guiding force of the institution.

You may, or may not, be aware that Columbia Memorial Hospital has been the leader in providing health care to the region for over a century. With each passing year, Columbia Memorial Hospital has seen growth and positive change in the enhancement and addition of health related services for our community. Through our daily actions we provide excellence, leadership, and compassion in the enhancement of health for those we serve.

Many exciting things are happening at Columbia Memorial Hospital. We have a new three-story, 39,000 square foot medical building. The CMH Health & Wellness PAVILION provides space for some of our diagnostics services, Women’s Center, our Orthopaedic Clinic, Urology Clinic, Pediatric Clinic as well as out-patient Rehabilitation Department and our Urgent Care Clinic.

This year will bring much change at CMH as we prepare for a complete remodel of our Surgery Services Department, part of our continued pursuit to provide the highest quality health care available. Included in this project is a new, state-of-the-art, outpatient endoscopy center that will provide a more comfortable, private patient experience. Our three existing operating rooms will be renovated and equipped with the latest technology. The CMH Foundation is helping fund the equipment upgrades.

To make room for the expansion, a three-story, mixed-use office building will be constructed to house several existing departments. These are just a few of the exciting things we are planning for health care in the North Coast area.

In addition to treating patients, Columbia Memorial Hospital has dedicated itself to improving the quality of life for those around us. At all levels, the staff of Columbia Memorial Hospital partner with businesses and community agencies.

Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about us! It is our pleasure to be of service to you.
