ows family for 55 years and
has cared for thousands of
patients over his career and
continues to see patients
daily. He is the gold stan
dard,” said Meadows Chief
Medical Officer Dr. Karen
McColl, who presented the
award to Dr. Neely.
The celebration kicked
off with a video presenta
tion profiling members of
the staff at Meadows who
commented on their roles
and experiences at the hos
pital. Meadows CEO Matt
Hasbrouck welcomed the
attendees, noting his time
at Meadows has been the
high point of his career.
Hasbrouck, who came on
board in 2021, acknowl
edged that he cherishes his
job because of the hard
working team at Meadows
and strong community
support. “Just look around
you. We are truly living our
mission every day. And
that mission is: Above all
else, we are committed to
the care and improvement
of human lives.’ And that is
not just patients’ lives, but
the lives of everyone in the
community.”
As research was con
ducted on Meadows’ histo
ry in preparation for a his
torical profile of the facility,
Hasbrouck said he enjoyed
learning about the people
who came together and
had the foresight to build
the hospital. “Coming to
gether with a vision, relent
lessly pursuing that vision,
working through adversity
to get things done, that’s
what it is all about. This
great community has had
many examples of this, and
certainly this hospital is
one of them.
“Over 60 years ago,
people in this community
joined together with the
vision of providing quality,
compassionate care close
to home. They understood
that to not just survive but
to thrive, a community has
to have strong local health
care. Today we are stron
ger than ever, broadening
our vision and caring for
more patients than ever
before.
“As we move forward,
we are committed and
honored to carry forth this
legacy and rich tradition,
investing not only in facili
ties and equipment, but
in our people, our part
ners, and this community.
A hospital is not merely
bricks and mortar but the
efforts of many who join
together to make it a place
of hope and healing.”
MHMH Advisory
Board Chairman Anthony
Miller, who has lived in
the community 17 years
and served on the Mead
ows advisory board for
six years, told attendees
that he has witnessed tre
mendous growth at the
hospital. “Over the years,
Meadows has become a
major player in our region
al health care community.”
MHMH welcomed its
first patient in 1963 as the
Dr. John M. Meadows Me
morial Hospital. Through
the years, Meadows has
evolved into a regional
medical complex offer
