April 29 ,2021 – Madison Memorial Hospital was given a 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the largest federal agency under the US Department of Health and Human Services. The Rexburg-based hospital, with its 69 staffed beds, was one of only 3 hospitals in the state of Idaho to receive the coveted 5- star award. The other two were St. Luke’s Magic Valley (213 staffed beds) and St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center in Boise (578 staffed beds). Altogether, Idaho’s 47 registered hospitals were awarded CMS star ratings as follows: * (1 star: No Idaho hospitals) ** (2 stars: 5 Idaho hospitals) *** (3 stars: 7 Idaho hospitals) **** (4 stars: 7 Idaho hospitals) ***** (5 stars: 3 Idaho hospitals) (No stars: 25 Idaho hospitals) TOTAL (47 Idaho hospitals) Nationwide, of 5,382 hospitals registered with CMS, only 8% (455 hospitals) were given a 5 star rating,...
Madison Memorial Hospital was named as one of the nation’s top 100 rural and community hospitals by the Chartis Group, a healthcare advisory firm with eight locations across the country. Only 32 states had hospitals scoring high enough to be included in the 2021 rankings. Madison Memorial was the only Idaho hospital to make the list. Becker’s Hospital Review, widely recognized for its comprehensive hospital rankings, included the Chartis Group’s results in its own announcement of the top 100 rural and community hospitals, further contributing to the validity of the study. According to Becker’s, the Chartis Center for Rural Health based their rankings on eight key performance areas defined by the Hospital Strength Index, including the following: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patient perspective, cost, charge and financial efficiency. Madison Memorial scored highly enough in each of these areas to earn inclusion in the center’s exclusive list....
By Jeremiah Kalb The late American celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain once said that if he were to be trapped in one city and had to eat one nation’s cuisine for the rest of his life, it would have to be Japanese. Revenue Cycle Supervisor Brandon Sakota could not agree more. One thing that sets Japanese cuisine apart from Chinese is the fresh use of ingredients and the healthy and light appearance of the food. “Things are fried less,” Sakota says. “It’s cleaner eating.” While Japanese food has become synonymous with sushi and tempura, it has much to offer in terms of slow-simmered stews, grilled skewers of meats and vegetables, savory pancakes, and endless noodles. Sakota is a fourth-generation Rexburg resident with family roots that go back to Hiroshima, Japan. His great-grandfather, Kisaburo Sakota, migrated to Eastern Idaho in 1915, where his family built a thriving enterprise farming grain, barley, and...

Not everyone here in Rexburg takes advantage of the opportunity to receive an annual Medicare wellness exam. Which is a shame, because it’s a key way to maintain your good health and to catch any potential problems early, before they grow in seriousness.
As your partners in health here in Rexburg, we believe a yearly visit to your doctor is critical to maintaining and managing your health for the long term. Our focus on wellness exams at Madison Memorial is on the prevention of serious diseases, so you stay healthy, avoid or delay the onset of diseases, and take control of your health.
Every single day in the USA, nine people are killed in crashes involving a distracted driver. When someone sends a text and takes his or her eyes off the road for five seconds at 55 miles per hour, that person drives the length of a football field, without looking. No wonder it’s so deadly. In Idaho, it’s against the law to text message someone while driving, which means you can’t review, prepare, or send a written communication while operating a moving motor vehicle. A ticket for this infraction will typically cost $81.50. And if your carelessness while texting contributes to the death of another person, you could be charged with vehicular manslaughter. The Emergency Department at Madison Memorial receives people every year who are victims of accidents in which inattentive driving was involved. We’re ready to jump in and help deal with the resulting traumatic injuries, but it’s better if...
It’s important to understand that children aren’t simply miniature adults. Their anatomy and physiology are different, as is the way their bodies react to physical trauma. Our team of emergency specialists at Madison Memorial have spent hundreds of hours training for anyone who might, at any time of day or night, pass through the doors of our ER. We have to be able to work together, in a well-coordinated way, in order to identify injuries and stabilize a child. According to the CDC, approximately 12,000 children and young adults under the age of 19 die each year from unintentional injuries. Whenever a serious or life-threatening injury is present, the things that happen within the first hour of treatment can be critical. In Idaho, fully one-fourth of all pediatric trauma cases are caused by motor vehicle accidents. Firearm injuries are also substantial contributors, with boys being five times more likely to...
Coronavirus Treatment – On Tuesday, November 17, 2020, Madison Memorial will begin administering the just-released COVID-19 treatment bamlanivimab. Developed by Eli Lilly and Company, this investigational medicine is comparable to the treatment that President Trump received after he contracted coronavirus last month. On Monday, November 9, 2020, the FDA issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for the use of bamlanivimab to treat mild to moderate COVID-19 in adult and pediatric patients 12 and older. The procedure involves a one-time intravenous infusion, and is intended for high-risk patients at the onset of SARS-CoV-2. Bamlanivimab was shown in clinical trials to reduce COVID-19 hospitalizations and ER visits in patients who presented a high probability of potential disease progression. The treatment is not authorized for patients who are already hospitalized or who require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19. Rather, its intended use is for high-risk patients in whom the disease has not yet...
