We are deeply saddened to share the passing of a cornerstone of our hospital family, Romell Mitchell.

Romell’s journey with us began on September 16, 1969, at Logan General. She started as a Posting Machine Operator in the business office, where she processed ledgers, payroll, and patient accounts. As medicine entered the digital age, Romell led the way. She was promoted to Data Processing Supervisor and later Director of IT, playing an integral role in bringing the hospital into the era of electronic computer systems. Her leadership in planning, installation, and staff education shaped the technology we use today.

In October 2003, Romell transitioned into her role as Executive Administrative Secretary, where she continued to serve with excellence until her passing.

Romell was more than a dedicated employee; she was a friend to everyone. With her larger-than-life personality and a light that shined on everyone she met, she truly left a mark on our hospital.

Thank you, Romell, for 56 years of service, dedication, and wisdom. You will be missed dearly by our employees, our patients, and the entire community. 💙

From being named to the Inaugural Forbes Top Hospitals List to earning statewide and national recognition from Newsweek, Becker’s, a 4-Star CMS Rating, and more, LRMC continues to set the standard for excellence.

Not sure if it’s flu, COVID-19, or RSV? Symptoms can overlap, but knowing the differences – and when to seek care – can keep you and your family safe this season. A good first step is to be proactive and take preventive measures. Vaccines, handwashing, and staying home when sick are the best ways to protect yourself and others. But if symptoms include difficulty breathing, chest pain, high fever that won’t go down, confusion, or signs of dehydration, medical care may be needed. Logan Regional Medical Group is here to provide testing, treatment, and compassionate care when you need it, close to home. Read more about flu, COVID-19, and RSV below.
