CEDAR COUNTY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL RECEIVES DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD FOR 2020

The Missouri Hospital Association recently recognized Cedar County Memorial Hospital with the MHA Distinguished Service Award for 2020. The award, which is MHA’s highest honor, recognizes the hospital and hospital staff for their superior level of patient care during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Missouri Governor Mike Parson presented the award to all Missouri hospitals in November during the 98th annual MHA convention held virtually this year. He acknowledged hospitals across Missouri for going “above and beyond” in caring for the very vulnerable that are suffering in so many ways.

Cedar County Memorial Hospital CEO, Jana Witt, commented, “We are so honored to receive this award to recognize our professional and dedicated staff and especially to acknowledge our frontline healthcare workers who provide the “hands-on” patient care on a daily basis and have risen to this challenge. The hospital has implemented many new measures, along with added structural improvements, to accommodate those who are ill with COVID-19. Our entire facility staff has worked tirelessly to provide the best environment and care possible, while striving to keep further spread of the virus to a minimum.”
