GRMC: Focused on you I have had the true privilege to be in the healthcare field all my adult years and the additional privilege of leading this hospital for the past 20 eventful years. The fact that this issue of Health Currents is dedicated to our hospital’s past, present and future is therefore particularly significant to me. My history and role here give me the opportunity to regularly connect with the hundreds of people who make up our healthcare system and many more who have received medical care at GRMC. In each of these interactions, I am reminded that who and what we are ultimately boils down to our unique and committed culture. We are deeply committed to quality, integrity, relationships, trust, compassion and always doing what is best for our patients. Our nation’s healthcare world is increasingly challenged by reduced payments, increased bureaucracy and a changing workforce. Our job at GRMC is to manage those exterior issues while being fully focused on maintaining our culture and being your reliable community hospital. Our continued goal for the future is to make sure that every patient and family interaction at GRMC is a positive one and that each patient feels uniquely special and cared for upon entering our doors. Thanks for your support! Guadalupe Regional Medical Foundation had a very fruitful year in 2023, thanks to the generous support of our community and region. Some of our recent success stories include inpatient rehabilitation’s updated recliner chair project, grants we obtained from the Najim Charitable Foundation for an expanded infant security system and support from our local Rotary for outpatient rehab exercise equipment. Two deep-rooted local families continued their tradition of community support through their substantial donations toward the updated GRMC history wall, highlighted in this edition. We are so grateful to the family of Pete and Judy Campbell and to The Koehler Company for making that project a reality. Throughout the year, our goal is to match individuals and businesses with their passions so that their gift to GRMF will benefit the hospital in a way that resonates with their interests and leaves a meaningful legacy. We love to be creative in helping each donor find their best way to give. Every donation, big or small, helps support patient care and contributes to our mission of making a positive difference in every life we are privileged to touch. Welcome, Dr. Myers!
