Madison Collaborates with Top Results Dec. 17th, 2013 – Administrative teams from Madison and the University of Utah formalized collaboration alliances for better Health Care at Madison Memorial Hospital. The experience was remarkable as each CEO made plans to work together as organizations for better patient results.

Patients will also have access to equipment and specialty care at better times, places, with the right information. As Channel 6 stated in their coverage of our event – It all comes down to economics. An economist would call this supply and demand. A hospital administrator would call this critical mass of patients. It basically means that you won’t find a regional burn unit...

Teresa Murdock 20 Years Madison Memorial Hospital is proud to recognize our long-term employees that have helped Madison fly high with years of selfless service, dedication, and growth. Teresa Murdock recently reached 20 years of service at Madison Memorial Hospital. One of her fondest memories while here at Madison Memorial Hospital happened years ago. She helped plan the employee summer lunch party at a nearby park. They wanted this party to be very special. As a result, many activities were coordinated. After all of their preparation, a huge thunder storm rolled in and spoiled their plans. At the last minute all the employees moved everything in doors. The Karaoke machine, food items and everything were now in doors. The fun had just begun. Murdock, Steiner, and a few other people joined in singing What a Wonderful World for all the employees on the karaoke machine. The hearts of many were...
Madison Improves Healthcare with Community Immunizations When a critical portion of a community is immunized against a contagious disease, most members of the community are protected against it because there is little opportunity for an outbreak. Call 359-6591 to enroll your company in our community immunity efforts. In Rexburg, Madison employees receive annual influenza immunizations. We have also been providing the employees at Basic American Food with blood pressure checks and influenza vaccinations for multiple years. They requested these services for an employee health benefit. We administer these vaccines for nearly the cost of the vaccine. It is an optional benefit that most employees take advantage of. Others like to visit us to get their blood pressure checked. Furthermore, Madison will immunize our school district with flu vaccinations at the end of the month. If you have not received a shot, please visit a local flu clinic. if you would like Madison...
