Madison Pulse
Brake 4 B-fast
A special thanks to each of you who helped with the Brake 4 B-fast. We gave out 1500 breakfasts and had many sponsors throughout the community donate money, time, and giveaway items. We also tried to identify and give each breast cancer survivor a pink rose. All women above 40, or who have a family history of breast cancer are encouraged to screen and take all the preventative measures to reduce the risk.
New Therapy Services
MMH admin has announced the organizational change in the therapy services department. We value the association we have had with our previously contracted group, Alicia Siddoway, and Integrated Therapy Services. They have treated many patients throughout the years, and we thank them for their services. With their departure, a new contract service has been selected. We are pleased to announce that Matt Daybell and Rehab Services of Idaho have partnered with MMH to provide therapy services. We welcome them and look forward to a successful partnership and the continuation of outstanding therapy services to our patients.

Medical Insurance Changes to Benefited Employees
As you are aware, MMH has implemented changes to our Medical Insurance Plan. Because costs continue to rise nationwide, and in order to continue to offer affordable healthcare to our employees, those changes were necessary. Many hours were spent in consultation with experts from the insurance industry to reach the best solution and benefits while controlling ever-increasing costs.
