OZH LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO
A Bold New Chapter
H
ealthcare is an ever-evolving field – that’s why connecting the past with the future is so important. Our latest issue of
Insight focuses on just this - connecting our roots as a small community hospital to our growth into a multispecialty regional health system that Ozarks Healthcare is today. In this issue, we take a look at our hos-
pital’s beginning with the help of some of our first physicians to care for our commu- nity. From delivering newborns to practic- ing emergency medicine and being on-call 24/7 as a small-town physician, Dr. Marvin Fowler did it all as a doctor in our hospi- tal’s early days. Dr. Stephen and Betty Coats share how they dedicated much of their lives to serving patients in our health sys- tem’s beginning as a healthcare power cou- ple – Betty worked as a nurse alongside her husband while raising a family and plant- ing roots in our community. Dr. Coats and Dr. Fowler’s perspective
show the contrast in our healthcare sys- tem’s size with our latest expansion proj- ect. Featuring 100,000 square feet of new
medical space, our new Medical Office Building is now open and conveniently serving our patients with new added con- venience of having multiple healthcare specialties in one place. Our growth can be shown by more than
added space – we have a strong group of new physicians who will be joining Ozarks Healthcare soon. Dr. Karen Jo- hal, pediatrician, Dr. David Lish, podia- trist, Dr, Caleb Piatt, orthopedist, and Dr. Ryan Vaisler, family practice physician are some of the latest caregivers to join Ozarks Healthcare. Summer is often a season of setting
a slower pace, but as I think you will see through this issue, life does not slow down across our health system. Still, through the improvements and changes made at Ozarks Healthcare, our focus remains the same – you and your health. As you read this issue, I think you will find it evident that this is still our constant. I hope you enjoy seeing how Ozarks
Healthcare’s history is just as important as our future through this issue.
