At Ransom Memorial Hospital, we take our role as a contributing member of the community very seriously. Our employees are active members of many civic and service organizations, and we contribute to community events and services.

A major concern is the health and wellness of residents of our service area. We offer a variety of health forums, health fairs, classes, speakers, special programs and screenings geared toward prevention and detection of health-related problems. RMHealth Forums are educational programs offered free to the community to educate and inform them of the many health issues that face us today. The Children’s Health Fair and Adult Health Fair are specifically designed to offer free and reduced screenings to the community during the year.

PATH is another service offered to the community by Ransom Memorial Hospital. PATH (Personal Actions To Health) is a free program designed to enhance the lives of senior citizens through education and activities that relate to diet, health and exercise. Call 785-229-8458 to find out more information on PATH.

All people seeking care at RMH receive care, regardless of their ability to pay. Charity care and the unpaid costs of public programs such as Medicaid and Medicare use a portion of the funds set aside for community benefits and services.
