In response to the growing shortage of rural obstetric care, Manning Regional Healthcare Center (MRHC) is proud to announce a new partnership with Myrtue Medical Center in Harlan, expanding convenient, high-quality OB-GYN services in our region. Board-certified OB-GYN, Dr. Kelly Anderson, DO, will begin seeing patients at MRHC on the fourth Thursday of every month starting June 26th.
While most patient appointments will take place in Manning, some prenatal appointments and all deliveries will be performed at Myrtue’s Birthing Center in Harlan. This partnership complements the existing OB-GYN services provided by Dr. Woods, who has been serving patients at MRHC for over 30 years.
“We’re proud to continue improving access to care for the women and families we serve,” said MRHC CEO Shannon Black. “This agreement enhances our current women’s health services and ensures continued access to local prenatal and gynecological care close to home.”
