Providing Quality Health Care in a Small-town Setting.
North Iowa’s greatest resource is its people. Hancock County Memorial Hospital (HCMH) is dedicated to professional and quality healthcare for the people of Hancock County and the surrounding area.
HCMH is a county owned, tax-supported health services facility affiliated with the Mercy Health Network—North Iowa. The 25-bed Critical Access Hospital and four primary care clinics are located in: Britt, Garner, Kanawha, and Wesley. As an affiliate with Mercy Health Network, HCMH is associated with one of the largest health care systems in Northern Iowa. The hospital and clinics offer up-to-date technology and equipment to provide quality patient care both now and for generations to come.
Extensive renovations to the Britt Medical Clinic and the hospital Emergency Department were completed in 2008. A hospital-based electronic health record was implemented in September 2008 that increases patient safety and quality of care.
In March 2011, HCMH began an expansion and renovation project north of the current facility. The first floor of the new addition will include an expanded Rehabilitation Services Department that will provide outpatient physical therapy, diabetic education, cardiac and pulmonary rehab, and a community fitness center. Imaging services will be enlarged to allow for additional services. The addition to the second floor of the hospital will allow for all private inpatient rooms. Tremendous community support for these projects has allowed HCMH to grow with the county and its medical needs.
With nearly 20,000 clinic visits last year, the hospital and clinics offer a broad range of services, including radiology, laboratory and physical therapy. Visiting specialty physicians offer convenient and expanded health care services for local residents in Orthopedics, Ear Nose and Throat, Neurology, Urology, Podiatry, Cardiology and Surgical Services. Cataract surgery, outpatient surgery and many laparoscopic and arthroscopic procedures are available.
Other hospital services that are available include massage therapy and nail care for hands and feet. The Sleep Disorder Lab at HCMH is staffed and equipped to perform your sleep study. The results are linked directly to the Sleep Disorder Lab at Mercy Medical Center—North Iowa. HCMH’s Business Health Department offers health and safety services to local employers.
Hancock County Memorial Hospital is a progressive hospital committed to serving the area’s healthcare needs with quality, personal care.
