Mile Bluff Medical Center exists for the community. The organization prides itself on progress that benefits the people it serves. Significant advancements were made this past year to bring new technology, services and experiences to the members of the community.
 
Aside from having a positive impact on the community through its medical mission, Mile Bluff has given back to the community through donations of money, supplies and time. 
 
In the most recent community health needs assessment, access to affordable healthy foods, transportation and mental health services were identified as opportunities for improvement, along with jobs and a strong economy.  While these things, in and of themselves, are not services provided by Mile Bluff, the organization recognized its ability to positively impact the community in these areas.
 
In response to these needs, Mile Bluff made donations to local food pantries, supported the community sharing supper, gave away free beef, created new jobs and purchased a new van to expand its transportation program.  Mile Bluff also maintains partnerships with area counseling services and provides medication-assisted therapy for addiction issues.
 
This is just a glimpse into the positive effect Mile Bluff had on the community in the past year, which is what led the organization to be nominated for the local chamber’s Community Impact Award.
