MCH fiscal report shows more ER visits and fewer admissions
Medical Center Hospital reported 51,487 ER visits in fiscal year 2012, up 4 percent from 2011, while hospital admissions declined to 13,225 from 13,712. The rise in ER traffic was linked to population growth and oil activity, with a slower flu season cited for fewer admissions. The board approved a $618,000 infusion center and wound care expansion, plus a $11,113 cell phone booster after Verizon to offset costs. New TTUHSC Odessa residents arrive March 15. Nurse of the month Daniel Baker, non clinical employee Jerry Olazada, and clinical employee Benjamin Dominguez were honored.
