This past Wednesday the Middle Park Medical
Foundation hosted its annual meeting and dinner. This was held at the park in
downtown Kremmling. The food was excellent and the fellowship even better.
Meara Michel and the rest of the foundation did an outstanding job. The
foundation does several things for the hospital and the community and they
should be commended on their efforts.
Health care is not just about what we do within
the four walls of the organization. Health care is about ensuring that our
communities and population as a whole has an excellent quality of life. There
are many ways that we at MPMC can ensure that happens. Right now there are
already several good programs that MPMC does to promote the quality of life
such as the health fair, partnerships with the school districts on concussion
education, West Grand School nurse program and numerous others too many to
list.
In the future MPMC will be collaborating with
more schools in our area on the school nurse program. Furthermore, it is my goal to bring
the Kremmling Recreation District, West Grand School district, the City of
Kremmling along with MPMC together to explore more recreational and health
promotion services. The ultimate goal is a facility where these types of
activities can take place.
This would help increase the health of the 80% of
the community who need little resources in order to focus our resources on the 20%
of the population that requires said services (Pareto Principle). This increase
in resources would greatly enhance the outcome of care on that 20% of the
population that needs it.
Moving forward any ideas or comments for these types
of services are greatly appreciated (no matter how wild).
