The job of caring for a community is a special responsibility, one we all hold in common.
The job of caring for all who need it, 365 days a year, is a big one and requires the very best tools and the very best working environment to do this very special job. McKenzie Health System has a vision for building a whole new hospital to assure the care this community needs and deserves is available here in your back yard for years to come.
Why a new hospital?
The past 55+ years have brought many changes to the world of healthcare. Advances in care and technology make a real difference in the lives of those we serve. Yet with those advances, we are challenged almost daily to make an aging facility work for what we need.
For all the reasons outlined below, and most importantly, for you, your loved ones, and our entire community, we must take this bold step.
The new facility will provide:
- Optimized patient care
- Ability to expand services
- Operational efficiencies
- Increased security
- Flexibility to maximize uses
- Ability for future growth
- Workforce attraction
- Economic strength
- Community health hub
- Built with future generations in mind!

We need your help!
Philanthropy is a gamechanger when it comes to healthcare! A hospital with even a 1% profit margin would need to provide $10,000 in services to have $100 to put toward a new facility and equipment. Your gift matters. The current goal is to raise $3.5 million dollars by December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2024, we have received $390,654.

Message From Leadership
As we look at the future of McKenzie Health System (MHS), it is clear that the future is now and the time to act is at hand. Although quietly, MHS has been a large member of the community for decades, but often the real value is not realized until care is needed. In addition to being the community’s healthcare partner and safety net, MHS also supports 300 jobs that significantly contribute to the local economy and touch many of your friends, family, and neighbors. When new families consider moving to our community, they not only research schools, but the local healthcare system before deciding to make that move. As we look to the future, please join us in making sure we are well positioned for the years ahead. Remember we live here, we work here, we play here, and we do family here; this is our future together to build. - Steve Barnett, DHA, CRNA, FACHE, McKenzie President & CEO
