Montrose Memorial Hospital Upgrades website to Provide Community Health Education and Information
How many of you have used the internet to find information about your health? In the latest Pew Internet study, 80% of adult Internet users (113 million) report they have used the Internet to look up health information. The Internet plays a major role in the lives of our patients and the community in general. The staff at MMH has been working hard to improve our health toolbox to make it easier and faster for our community to find the answers they need to help manage the health of their families. At www.montrosehospital.com, we recently added Discovery Hospital, an online health content service, to make the information on our website more in depth and easier to access. Discovery Hospital gives us online health information (consisting of over 7,500 pages of health-related articles and interactive tools) specifically designed to assist you in managing your health more effectively. The library on Discovery Hospital includes a wealth of information and tools to help patients manage their health. Among the thousands of pages of useful information patients can access, topics include: Disease and Condition Information, Self-Management of Symptoms, Health Risk Assessments, Behavioral Change tools, Drug Reference Database, Parenting Information, Diet and Fitness, Pediatrics and much more. They have great pictures and videos which can be used for teaching and learning. You can get information about your upcoming surgical procedure and even take an anatomy tour and explore different basic systems in the body. When you go to www.montrosehospital.com, just click on the Discovery Hospital button to access the educational information. In addition to the Discovery Hospital content library, we also added a virtual web nursery. Many parents comment that they would like to be able to send pictures to family and friends immediately following the birth of their child. Now, parents will be able to provide a link to their baby’s picture to family and friends throughout the world who might otherwise miss this special occasion. As always, Montrose Memorial Hospital continues to focus on delivering high-quality care and health information to the region. We believe these health tools will allow us to fulfill our mission in continuing to be a health resource in a new and creative manner.

Giving Blood at MMH
Ltobin writes, "Answers about Giving Blood at MMH Hospital Happenings – August 2007
Have you ever thought of being a blood donor? The blood bank at MMH processes over 900 units of blood each year. We are fortunate to have over 600 active donors who generously give blood when needed. When called, the donors give one pint of blood which has the potential to help up to two people here at Montrose Memorial Hospital and the San Juan Cancer Center. I know I’ve talked to you about giving blood a couple times however; I wanted to clear up some misconceptions about giving blood in our community. When you donate blood at MMH, the blood stays in our blood bank and is used by patients in our hospital or at the Cancer Center. When you give blood at one of the mobile blood banks that come to town, the blood may be used at MMH if we need it however, we have to purchase it back from the people who operate the mobile unit. They don’t “reserve” it for people in Montrose nor do they “give” it to our blood bank to use. The blood is used as needed for their patients and the patients of other hospital they serve. Don’t be misled if you are told “yes, the blood is used for patients in Montrose” because that isn’t completely accurate. Currently we rarely use blood from other sources. So far this year, we have used 706 units of blood from Montrose Hospital donors and have only had to purchase 60 units from other sources. As you can see, we rarely use blood from other sources, so if you want to assure that your blood is used for patients at Montrose Hospital or the San Juan Cancer Center, be sure to give blood at the MMH blood bank. Giving blood at MMH takes a total of 30 minutes: only 7-10 minutes to draw your blood, plus some time for registration, pre-donation health screening, and your snack/rest period afterward. It is VERY simple – all you need to do is call 240-7220 to schedule a time that works for you. If you would like to bring your office staff, your service club, or members of your family, we are happy to set aside a special time for you and your group. To be eligible to give blood, a donor must be at least 17 years old, weigh 110 pounds or more and be in good health. If you have any questions about taking medications and donating blood, let us know and our staff will advise you about your eligibility to donate. If you have a tattoo or body piercing, the U.S. health advisers voted to continue a policy that requires people who have been pierced or tattooed to put off donating blood for a year after the procedure, but said those who have received acupuncture can safely give blood. If you are currently a blood donor, thanks for “giving the gift of life.” If you are interested in becoming a donor or have any questions, please call us at 240-7220. "
