Ray Chorey from SEORMC was guest speaker at this week’s Byesville Rotary Club meeting. He stated that disease prevention was important tool in staying well and thanked the Rotary Club for working with SEORMC to provide an annual Health Screening for community members.
Chorey stated that the current economic problems have increased the number of challenges SEORMC faces. One of the challenges is caused by changes in the way employers support health care for example many employers have implemented higher deductibles for their employees.
Another challenge is working to meet the needs of patients who need services but who are having difficulty paying for those services. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that in Guernsey County 28% of all adults and 6% of all children do not have health insurance. This puts stress on both SEORMC and the patients.
Chorey reported that despite the economic challenges, SEORMC staff members continue to work toward providing increasing better services. As part of this effort, SEORMC has been successful in recruiting new doctors with specialties needed by the area to Cambridge. The new doctors include a neurologist and a 2ed orthopedic surgeon.
SEORMC has also added new services such as pill cameras and internal acid reflux monitors. SEORMC is the only hospital in southeastern Ohio to offer these cutting edge technologies.
