Clarinda Regional Health Center (CRHC) is excited to share images and details of a beautification project on campus that has been a goal for several years. Rightfully named, the "Founders Corner," to honor the founders of the Municipal Hospital back in 1939, a memorial structure with a water feature and garden area is being created to welcome patients, staff, and community members to the campus.
The Founders Corner will be located north of the new Physical Therapy building and at the intersection of Essie Davison Drive and W Laperla and will feature pieces of the old Municipal hospital sign, bricks from the old hospital building, and the current hospital logo. Around the stone Founders Corner sign there will be a brick pathway surrounding the sign that will have benches placed nearby allowing individuals to sit, relax and enjoy the view.
CRHC's foundation, Partners In Exceptional Care, is leading the initiative to fundraise for this beautiful feature on the campus and is excited to share the opportunity to involve the community in it's creation. They are offering individuals and businesses the ability to purchase a laser engraved brick to place along the path. A 4x8 brick can be purchased for $100 and an 8x8 brick can be purchased for $150. Clip art can be added to either size of brick for an additional $25 or business logos can be added for $50.
CRHC’s Director of Community Engagement and Grants commented, “We are looking forward to developing this area that will provide peace and tranquility as community members enjoy the campus. Purchasing a brick to be placed in the pathway is a great way to honor your family or memorialize a loved one. Meaningful or favorite quotes can also be engraved that will add a nice variety to the bricks for individuals to enjoy for many years to come.”
Order forms can be found online by going to ClarindaHealth.com and selecting the brick fundraiser button located on the bottom right side of the screen or by going to 4everbricks.com/donors/clarinda.

Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)
Health comes in all forms including physical, mental, and social well-being.
You may have heard about Social Determinants of Health in the news recently and the federal mandate from CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) regarding a Health-Related Social Needs Screening Tool……. but what is it?
This is a group of questions to screen for safety, living conditions, educational needs, economic status, access to quality healthcare, and other situations that may affect a person's overall health. Once identified, Clarinda Regional Health Center (CRHC) can assist in finding resources and help patients overcome some of these barriers.
Examples of questions you might be asked during admission may include:
Of course, a patient has the right to refuse to answer any of the questions.

[Clarinda, Iowa]— The Hugh and Maxine Loudon Estate contributed $750,000 to the Clarinda Regional Health Center which has been used to develop and construct a state-of-the-art operating room facility. This initiative aims to enhance healthcare services and accommodate the growing needs of the community for advanced medical care. The newly constructed operating room is equipped with cutting-edge technology and modern amenities, fostering an environment conducive to precision, innovation, and patient-centered care.
The contribution was originally made by the Loudon Estate in 2013 to assist with the construction of the new hospital. With the hospital opening in 2012 and funding needs secured, Maxine’s daughter and son-in-law, Lyn and Orville Dodd, agreed the donation could be used for future expansion projects.
The new operating room will facilitate various complex surgical procedures, enabling medical professionals at Clarinda Regional Health Center to deliver advanced care efficiently and effectively. This expansion emphasizes the collaborative efforts between generous donors and Clarinda Regional Health Center to prioritize patient well-being and elevate the standard of healthcare services in the region.
“Clarinda Regional Health Center is extremely grateful to the Loudon Family for this generous donation allowing us to remain committed to supporting initiatives that promote healthcare advancement and benefit the community at large,” stated Chuck Nordyke, CRHC CEO.
