Mission

Sheridan Community Hospital is dedicated to provide accessible, personalized, efficient, quality healthcare based on the needs of those we serve.

 

Sheridan Community Hospital (SCH) is a 25-licensed bed acute care hospital, located in the heart of Montcalm County. The hospital employs over 190 workers and professional staff and serves Montcalm and parts of Ionia, Gratiot, Mecosta, and Isabella counties. In 1999, SCH became certified to provide care for patients requiring longer-term stays. We now have ten beds that are certified as "Swing Beds" or transitional care nursing.

"SCH has succeeded greatly, this year and over the years, in broadening its capabilities in the area of emergency services, same day and short stay surgery, patient-centered care, outpatient services, and the offering of on-going community education programs," said Kevin J. Cawley, Chief Executive Officer for SCH. "Each day, more of our family, friends and neighbors have the opportunity to receive these services here, in Sheridan, rather than traveling to Lansing, Grand Rapids or other locations."

Services continue to expand and include emergency care and a walk-in clinic (24 hours, 7 days a week), inpatient and outpatient services, medical/surgical care, same day or short stay surgery, pulmonary diagnostics, two beautifully renovated sleep study suites, physical therapy, CT scanning, ultrasound, x-ray, mammography, nuclear medicine, bone density testing, and various other diagnostic testing. Additionally, SCH offers a variety of health and wellness programs like monthly education workshops, health screenings, community health fairs, blood pressure clinics, diabetes education, and support groups.

Sheridan Community Hospital's medical staff includes 12 active staff physicians, over 50 consulting and courtesy staff physicians, a team of ER physicians, as well as many allied health professionals. A variety of physician specialists see patients weekly in the Physician Specialists' office (located in the hospital's southwest wing) and in the Cardiopulmonary Department. Physician Specialists include cardiology, ears/nose/throat, gastroenterology, general surgery, gynecology, internal medicine, neurology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, pathology, peripheral vascular, physical medicine & rehabilitation, podiatry, pulmonology, radiology, and urology.

Sheridan Community Hospital has evolved in recent years from a hospital to being part of a much larger health system. It includes four hospital-owned family health practices located in Sheridan, Stanton and Edmore; Sheridan's Professional Complex housing a physician gynecologist in its lower level; and a Medical Office Building offering family practice, surgery and specialized foot care.

In 2004, SCH completed a major renovation project, which included a new outpatient services lobby, registration and physician specialists' office, as well as a new diagnostic imaging department. Most recently SCH finished the building of a new state-of-the-art laboratory, in May 2007, going from 660 to 1,350 square feet. Plans to follow include the construction of a new building that will house physical therapy and the Sheridan Care family practice, expansion of the surgery department, relocating the pharmacy department and central supply, and making room for a new 32-slice CT scanner in diagnostic imaging, just to name a few of the changes taking place.

We thank you for your patience and continued support to Sheridan Community Hospital, especially during these times of construction and renovation. We strive to make improvements so that your healthcare experience is second to none!

Oh, and one more thing...SCH helped to heal over 24,000 bodies, hearts, and minds last year. For a small rural hospital, SCH is big in the communities it serves.
