There was good news and some concerning news from the monthly meeting of the Humboldt County Memorial Hospital (HCMH) Board of Trustees held on Tuesday, Sept. 26.
First, the good news, HCMH has once again been named a Top Mid-size Workplace for 2023 by the Des Moines Register.
HCMH was ranked number 25 of 55 businesses listed. HCMH was rated just one position below Stewart Memorial Community Hospital (another one of the UnityPoint rural affiliates,) in Lake City. According to the report, HCMH employs 233 people.
The Register partners with Energage, an employee survey company in Pennsylvania. In 2023, 2,681 organizations were invited to survey their employees. Based on employee survey feedback, 148 earned recognition as Top Workplaces in the state.
The concerning news came regarding possible federal and state mandates affecting HCMH. One is from CMS (Medicare) regarding possible Long-term care staffing changes and the other is state intrusion in Humboldt County Memorial Hospital's Public Health Department.
