(WARRENSBURG, Mo.) – Western Missouri Medical Center was one of 10 Missouri hospitals recognized by the Missouri Hospital Engagement Network as a High-Performing Hospital.

The Medical Center prevented two falls with injury and nine venous thromboembolisms. In addition, WMMC has a zero percent rate of central line associated blood stream infections and catheter-associated urinary tract infections.

Stiles, president and chief executive officer, in a news release. “Our WMMC team has been working diligently to indentify process improvement opportunities – just another step we’re taking to ensure the safest possible environment for our patients.”
