Happy Thanksgiving, McCurtain County—

On behalf of everyone at McCurtain Memorial Hospital, I want to wish you and your family a Thanksgiving filled with warmth, peace, and the kind of togetherness that reminds us what truly matters.

This season gives us a chance to pause and reflect, and what I feel most deeply is gratitude—gratitude for this community, for the people who call it home, and for the trust you place in your hospital.

I am grateful for our employees. Every day, our nurses, providers, therapists, techs, housekeeping, dietary, maintenance, business office staff, and so many others show up to serve with skill, compassion, and heart. They care for neighbors, friends, classmates, and family members. They bring comfort in hard hours, steady hands in emergencies, and kindness in quiet moments. Rural healthcare is not easy work, but our team does it with a level of dedication that makes me proud to be part of MMH.

I’m also thankful for our community partnerships—our schools, churches, law enforcement, EMS, fire departments, county leaders, local businesses, and civic organizations. You stand with us. You help us reach people before they’re in crisis, support families after they leave our doors, and strengthen the health of McCurtain County in ways no single organization could accomplish alone. Healthcare is a team effort, and our community shows that every day.

To the outstanding physicians and providers across our county and region—those who practice at MMH and those in private clinics, specialty offices, neighboring facilities, home health, long-term care, and behavioral health—thank you. You are essential to the safety net that keeps rural communities strong. We share patients, call each other for help, and lean on one another in ways that are unique to small towns. Your partnership matters more than you know.

Thanksgiving also reminds me of why rural hospitals and rural healthcare providers are so important. We are not just a building with beds and equipment. We are a promise that when something happens—something unexpected, frightening, life-changing—care is close to home.

We don’t take that responsibility lightly, and we don’t take your support for granted. Your hospital exists because this community believes in caring for each other. Your encouragement, your patience, your prayers, your feedback, and your trust fuel our mission and push us to keep improving.

As we gather around tables this Thanksgiving, I hope you know how thankful we are to serve you. Thankful for our employees who are spending holidays at the bedside. Thankful for the partnerships that make healthcare better here. Thankful for every family who has walked through our doors and allowed us to be part of their story. And thankful for the resilience and goodness of McCurtain County.

From my family to yours, and from all of us at McCurtain Memorial Hospital: Happy Thanksgiving. May your home be full of love, your hearts full of gratitude, and your days ahead full of health and hope.

With sincere appreciation,
Brian Whitfield
President & CEO
McCurtain Memorial Hospital

In a heartbeat, every angel was spoken for. Caring for our community—inside and out.

When Chief Marketing Officer Kayla Manginell reached out to Breighter Heights team members Samantha Wilson and Haley Tabor to speak with our managers about this year’s Angel Tree program, their response was immediate: “Absolutely—we’ll be there!”

Each year, our hospital and departments adopt children from the Angel Tree to help make their Christmas wishes come true. But this year, something extraordinary happened—every single angel was adopted within minutes.

We are grateful for the incredible people at MMH who show, time and again, what it means to care for our community in so many meaningful ways.

Yesterday this wonderful group of moms chose to get active together on our front lawn. Strollers, sunshine, and plenty of smiles included!

We love seeing our walking track being used by families and staff, and we hope it inspires you to get moving too.

You may also notice our newly installed fence, added to help improve safety for children and families enjoying the outdoor space. Your wellness and peace of mind matter to us.

We were grateful to have Amanda Rosson, LPN and Chronic Care Management Coordinator, present to our management team about the incredible impact her Chronic Care Management (CCM) program is having on our patients.

Amanda shared several powerful success stories — including one that left the entire room inspired. She spoke about a patient who has been unable to speak for 17 years. Through Amanda’s dedication, this patient is now being connected with Speech Therapy at MMH, and our team is working to secure a Dynavox communication system so she can finally communicate again with her family. ❤️

Stories like this remind us why the Chronic Care Management program is so important.
CCM helps patients by:
• Providing one-on-one support between visits
• Coordinating care between providers
• Helping patients manage chronic conditions more effectively
• Improving access to important services such as therapy, medication support, and education
• Enhancing overall quality of life through consistent, personalized care

If you’d like to learn more about Chronic Care Management or find out if you qualify, please call 580-339-5093.
We’re here to help you take control of your health — one step at a time. 💙
