About Us
SCH is all about friendly faces and caring hearts with a genuine desire for
providing excellent patient care.
The greatest opportunity one can receive is being given the
honor of service to your community. I am proud to have been given the role of
leading Scott County Hospital,
a health care institution with a long and proud heritage and a future directed
towards growth. Scott
County
Hospital
was founded with a vision to serve the needs of the community, and I look
forward to continuing that tradition. It is my goal to enhance the trust and
confidence of the patients we serve.
Scott
County
Hospital
has been blessed with a community that recognizes the need to support their
local hospital, and they understand that the success of the hospital helps
assure success of the community, both economically and with an eye towards
future viability. To that end the voters of Scott County
have recently passed a $24 million dollar bond to replace our aged facility. To
the citizens of Scott
County; THANK YOU! We will
strive to be good stewards of your money.
The healthcare environment today is constantly
changing. I am committed to working with our
Scott
County team to manage that
change in a positive fashion whether it is advances in technology or the
sweeping change of Federal Health Care reform. In accomplishing this we will
live up to our motto of ‘Leading you to a Healthy Future’
My vision is simple: To build and maintain the
trust, confidence, reliability and access that our patients seek. While
accomplishing this goal our hospital must remain financially viable during what
are the most challenging healthcare and economic times in our nation’s history.
Increased insurance costs, decreased reimbursements and a critically short
supply of trained professional staff all contribute to this problem. By working
closely with the citizens we serve, the medical staff, our hospital team and by
providing quality information for our Board of Directors to utilize in planning
and decision making, it is my goal to not only provide the highest quality care
but to maintain and improve our hospitals economic viability.
I believe the future for Scott County
is a vision of growth and progress, and to that end I will strive to assure a
strong healthcare foundation.
Again, I feel distinctly privileged and honored
to be the leader of the Scott
County
Hospital
team. My focus is simple: Patient care comes first, quality is always assured.
Sincerely,
D. Mark Burnett
President and Chief Executive Officer
