We have an incredible staff, and we want to recognize all the accomplishments we’ve made together this past year. Due to so many of our staff working from home and social distancing during this time, we’ll be celebrating our healthcare system’s efforts in a virtual fashion, looking forward to a more festive part of our celebration at a later date. Things to know: Hospital Week applies equally to all members of the Madison Memorial family, not just to those working at the hospital itself. It includes everyone at our offsite support locations as well as those at Seasons Medical, Rexburg Medical Clinic, and Madison Surgery Center. It’s Jeans Day all week, starting Tuesday, going through Friday! Watch for our employee forum,  coming out later this week in the form of a video from our Admin Team. Watch also for upcoming information on a special, one-time gift for each employee, to...
In these uncertain times, with so many MMH employees now working from home, the real-life superheroes working in the Information Technology department at Madison Memorial Hospital have truly gone above and beyond the call of duty to keep everyone productive and connected. “The other night,” said Lisa Wright (MMH Education Department), “I was trying to get ready to teach an online class and I couldn’t get it to work.  It was getting close to start time.  Kaylyn was on call and she got Noble on the phone and the two of them remoted in to my computer and helped me get it up and ready to go.  Noble was at home because this was 6:30 pm to 7:00 pm.  I am so grateful for their help.  I truly could not have done my job without them.  They saved my life that night and so many other times, IT has helped...

At Madison Memorial, we follow best practices. In this unique time, the majority of our best practices and policies are coming from the CDC, Eastern Idaho Public Health, and governmental collaborations at all levels – local, state, and federal.

We are making our decisions based upon the safety and wellness of our communities (our Madison family and the counties we serve), balanced with our mission to care for a likely surge of patients.

We are fortunate to have time to prepare and position ourselves in the best possible way we can for this crisis. Our gratitude goes out to everyone who is working very hard and sacrificing to be the caregivers our friends and neighbors will need in the coming weeks.

– Rachel Gonzales, CEO, Madison Memorial Hospital

A certified nurse is a nurse who has gone on to gain additional training, skills, and experience in a specific area of specialty, becoming certified in that area after having met the standard nursing qualifications. Nursing professionals who advance themselves toward the designation of certified nurse demonstrate a willingness to continue to learn and improve, contributing to the overall excellence of our organization here at Madison Memorial. Of all of the amazing nurses who work here, 26 are certified nurses, meaning they’ve acquired specialized skills and knowledge on top of their previous nursing training. In today’s volatile, uncertain climate of COVID-19 and worldwide pandemic concerns, it’s comforting to know that we have so many specialized, professional, dedicated staff members, right here in Rexburg, Idaho. To all of our certified nurses: Happy Certified Nurses Day, and thank you for all you do. To everyone else: Go out of your way today...

A first-time mother nominates Nurse Carrie to receive the DAISY award because of her compassionate work. Great Job Carrie. Thank you for your service. 

The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day. The DAISY Foundation was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes after he died from complications of the auto-immune disease ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, they deeply appreciated the care and compassion shown to Patrick and his entire family. When he died, they felt compelled to say “thank you” to nurses in a very public way. To learn more, visit DAISYFoundation.org
Please say thank you by sharing your story of how a nurse made a difference you will never forget!
