These meetings are part of the hospital’s continued effort to reintroduce residents to their local hospital — offering updates on services, addressing questions about healthcare access and sustainability, and opening the door for more direct communication between hospital leadership and the communities they serve.
The newly scheduled events include:
Amsterdam Area Community Talk
Tuesday, August 5 at 6:00 p.m.
Amsterdam Community Center, 8524 NW State Rt. Y, Amsterdam, Mo.
Residents of Amsterdam, Amoret, Virginia, and nearby areas are encouraged to attend for a conversation about local healthcare and hospital services.
Elected Officials Briefing
Thursday, August 21 at 6:00 p.m.
BCMH Education Center, 615 W. Nursery Street, Butler, Mo.
All city, county, and township elected officials in Bates County are invited to attend a focused briefing and open discussion on hospital operations, challenges, and future planning.
The August events build on the momentum of BCMH’s June community talks, which brought forward valuable questions about mental health care, EMS funding, physician recruitment, and hospital stability in today’s rural healthcare landscape. Leaders from across the organization were on hand to speak directly with attendees and share how the hospital is responding to these challenges and opportunities.
“These meetings have been a meaningful way for us to listen, share information, and connect with our community in a personal and transparent way,” said BCMH CEO Greg Weaver. “We’re grateful for the turnout and the honest questions we’ve received so far — and we’re looking forward to continuing those conversations this August.”
Please note: These corrected dates replace those included in an earlier announcement. BCMH appreciates the community’s attention and understanding.
