New! in the BCMH Pharmacy
New! in the BCMH Pharmacy, a remodel and addition to the "clean room". Completed in 2020, the remodel allows the hospital to continue providing treatments for cancer patients, a valuable service for our community that allows a patient to receive chemotherapy and other infusion treatments close to home. The project included the construction of a new, negative-pressure room as well as a remodel of the pharmacy’s clean room.
This provided the appropriate separation of storing and processing hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals, ensuring the safety of our patients and staff.

Ashley’s love for everyone who ever met her will forever be remembered. Her love for all things, especially anything outdoors was incredible.
She knew the name of every tree, plant, mushroom and bird from Missouri. She passed that love to her beautiful daughter, the love of her life, whom she named according to her passion: Aspen. She was an amazing mother with so many wonderful talents that she has instilled on to her sweet baby.
Her smile could brighten up any room and she had a heart of gold. It is often difficult to see the good in this world, but Ashley was it. May she Rest In Peace, and know all the love that everyone has for her, and she for them.
The family asked that memorial donations be made to Consalus Funeral Home for a scholarship to be established for Aspen.
