Clinic to reopen on Monday
The emergency room at Mercy Hospital Cassville has reopened to patients after a fire Monday temporarily closed the facility.
An ambulance crew, doctor and emergency room staff have remained on-site to treat patients having emergencies who came in by private vehicle. Now, the facility can once again accept ambulance traffic, as the ER is fully functional.
We know how critical quick care is in an emergency, said Valerie Davis, administrator of Mercy Hospital Cassville. We have been laser focused on reopening the ER since the fire on Monday. But we had to ensure the building would be safe for patients and co-workers.
