Welcome to the world, handsome little Kolter Kreed! 💙

His proud parents, Ally and Ty of Licking, are overjoyed to welcome their newest addition. Kolter is extra special to us, as his mommy is one of our very own nurses in the obstetrics department.

Kolter was delivered by Tricia Benoist, MD, family medicine and obstetrics physician, on Friday, March 27, at 7:16 a.m. He weighed 8 lbs. 12 oz. and measured 20 inches long. He is already so loved by his big sisters, Oaklee and Brylee.

“Our experience was great!” Ally shared. “It was very special to be cared for by the nurses you work with. I could not have done it without them.”

We are so happy for your sweet family and wish you a lifetime of happiness and joy with your newest little blessing! ✨

TCMH was honored to be a sponsor for the Pregnancy Resource Center of South Central Missouri annual banquet yesterday evening. It was truly a heartwarming event, highlighted by inspiring remarks from Debra Stockard, Executive Director of the PRC, and Beth Caulfield, who shared about her upcoming faith-based true story, Conceivable, set to release this September. Guests also enjoyed a delicious meal provided by Leslie’s Catering of Cabool, which made the evening even more special.

What an incredible day spent with our community partners at the Stay the Course Workshop yesterday!

These partners, along with several who were unable to attend, continue to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to Texas County and improving the health of our communities. Together, we focused on making a meaningful impact by addressing cardiovascular disease, the number one cause of death in our region.

Our goal is simple but powerful: if we can prevent even one person from experiencing a cardiovascular event, then every effort, every conversation, and every collaboration is worth it.

A special thank you to our dedicated community partners for their ongoing collaboration, as well as the National Rural Health Resource Center team for their support. We also extend our appreciation to those who shared their knowledge and personal experiences, including Bill Bridges, CEO and cardiovascular patient; Jason Edwards, TCMH dietitian; Matt Eskew, TCMH respiratory director; and Dana Wilson, TCMH cardiac rehab director.

This team understands that meaningful change doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens when communities come together, leveraging shared resources, building trusted relationships, and committing to long-term impact.

We are proud to stand alongside this group of passionate individuals who continue to show up, learn, grow, and take steps forward—together—for the health and future of Texas County.

Because when a community comes together with purpose, real change isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.

A milestone year calls for milestone generosity.

As we celebrate the 20ths Anniversary of the TCMH Healthcare Foundation Golf Tournament, we are incredibly honored to announce Simmons Bank once again as a Diamond Level Sponsor. But their $2,000 sponsorship this year represents much more than a single event; it marks a historic milestone in our partnership.

With this gift, Simmons Bank has now contributed over $75,000 in lifetime donations to the Foundation.

That is $75,000 invested directly back into our community, funding scholarships for the next generation of medical professionals and supporting local healthcare initiatives. We cannot thank the team at Simmons Bank enough for their steadfast belief in our mission over the years.

Please join us in thanking them for being a true pillar of our community!
