Earlier this year, MRHC pursued a strategic partnership that now offers expectant mothers the convenience of receiving prenatal and postnatal care in Manning, while delivering in Harlan. Myrtue Medical Center now provides a full obstetrics program for prenatal care and deliveries for MRHC patients.
Dr. Kelly Anderson, DO, a board-certified OB-GYN began seeing patients at MRHC in Manning in June. She visits the Manning clinic on the fourth Thursday of each month, providing access to specialty care without requiring patients to travel long distances. Her services complement those of board-certified and ACOG fellow, Dr. Michael Woods, MD, who has provided OB-GYN care in the Manning area for over 30 years. Although Woods does not offer prenatal and delivery services in Manning, he does offer female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, urogynecology, and obesity medicine.
Together, Drs. Anderson and Woods ensure patients receive comprehensive and compassionate care at every stage of life – from annual exams to pregnancy and beyond.
Since the program’s inception earlier this year, Dr. Anderson’s clinic has been full. This partnership exemplifies how two community-focused hospitals can work together to strengthen access to specialized care, improve patient outcomes, and provide exceptional services close to home.
