MHC Features

Memorial Health Center (MHC), Sidney NE is proud to announce that Public Internet is now available in all areas of the hospital. Basically, anyone can now bring their laptop computer or cell phone that has Internet capability, into the MHC facility, and connect to the Public Internet via a wireless connection.

The process of connecting to MHC's Public Internet is similar to the method used to connect to the Internet while visiting a hotel or coffee house, etc. Danielle Gearhart, Chief Executive Officer for MHC, stated "We feel this addition is part of our dedication to provide quality care and services for our guests. It is another example of our commitment to be the 'healthcare facility of choice' for our community and surrounding areas."

Patients, family or friends will now be able to connect to their places of business, stay in touch with family and friends, as well as still be connected to the outside world during the time they are at MHC. Patients and visitors to MHC are not the only ones who will benefit from this technology.

It is now possible for visiting Physicians and business associates to access their respective offices via the Public Internet, without compromising the security and integrity of MHC's other systems. Bruce Leypoldt, Information Technology Director for MHC added, "This initiative is important on many levels for our patients, friends, family and staff. All of this has been made possible due to recent upgrades and investments in our information and computerization infrastructure.”

Staying connected to the rest of the world is so important and especially during times of illness, recuperation and healing. The Staff at MHC hopes this new service will be beneficial for those who visit MHC. This service is not available at Sloan Estates Assisted Living Center at this time.
