PCH is again honored, privileged and humbled by this further recognition of our outstanding performance  and efforts to bring the best possible quality health care delivery to our rural community.  Congratulations and KUDOS to the Board of Directors, Medical staff and the entire staff at Phillips County Hospital for being identified and recognized for their passion in doing what we do and how we do it  in providing quality care and services to the people we care for and provide service to.  PCH also thanks and recognizes the ongoing supportive of the community in giving PCH the honor and privilege of caring for them and working together to keep healthcare healthy right here in Phillips County - without people none of this would be possible and we would not be able to continue to make a difference.

We at PCH strive to change and improve our practices and processes all the time to provide the highest quality of care and services we can.  To all of our healthcare team at PCH this recognition is a testament to that ongoing continuous quality improvement and working very hard and diligently to adapt to the ever changing healthcare environment. 

This further recognition of our efforts also comes at a great time while we are celebrating National Hospital week here on our campus.
