The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard from the CEO of Taylorville Memorial Hospital at their Tuesday noon meeting at the Moose Lodge.
Kim Bourne has headed T-M-H since 2015, and grew up on a Centennial Farm near Pawnee. She told Kiwanis members she’s been part of the Memorial Health System for some 36 years.
Bourne shared that Taylorville Memorial Hospital employs 310 people that earn 27-million dollars in salary and benefits, with many of their staff from Christian County. She added 90-percent of the hospital’s care and revenue is from out patient care. T-M-H’s Emergency Room has some 12-thousand visits a year.
Bourne told the Kiwanis Club T-M-H recently received a 4-STAR rating and is the only hospital within 100 miles of Springfield outside of St. Louis to receive that rating, and they’re also involved in the Taylorville community as a Bike Friendly Business and participating in the local school’s back-pack program.
The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge. For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
