As a nonprofit, charitable organization, MMC depends upon the generosity of those it serves in order to provide that extra margin of quality, service and convenience which is so unique for a facility our size. The MMC Foundation now provides a variety of opportunities for appreciative patients, their families and other friends of the hospital and nursing home who want to help by investing in the future of the facility and the community we serve. Volunteer Services MMC is fortunate to have an active auxiliary of adult and junior volunteers. Our volunteers provide several thousand hours of service through a wide variety of valuable jobs to make the patients at MMC as comfortable as possible. They assist patients with menu selections, deliver mail and flowers, and help the hospital staff with various fund raising activities.
Volunteers serve in virtually every department of the facility.
In a very special way, nurses are the caregivers at a hospital and nursing home. They carry out the physicians' orders with a high level of professionalism and compassion providing the extra touches so necessary to the patient and family. As dedicated professionals, the staff at Murphy Medical Center places high emphasis on continuing education and certification. Many of the RN's and LPN's on staff hold additional certifications in specific specialty areas including surgery, rehabilitation, advanced cardiac life support, emergency medicine, neonatal advanced life support, mobile intensive care, pediatrics, critical care, infection control and nursing management. Certified nurse assistants work to assist the licensed nursing staff in providing quality care.
