Columbia-based MU Health Care and longtime Jefferson City affiliate Capital Region Medical Center plan to fully integrate the two organizations into an integrated academic health care system. They are currently two separate corporations. University of Missouri vice chancellor for health affairs Nim Chinniah and Capital Region Medical Center’s Gaspare Calvaruso joined us live in-studio on 939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Mid-Missouri.” Mr. Chinniah tells listeners that community hospitals are struggling in Missouri, and this ensures that care remains high-quality and is sustainable. He notes MU Health Care has opened clinics in Mexico, Fulton and Boonville, rural mid-Missouri towns that have seen their hospitals close:

MU Health’s Boonville medical building to hold grand opening today
A formal grand opening is set for today for MU Health Care’s new 14,000 square foot medical building in Boonville.
While it opened to the public in late March, today is the grand opening, which will include dignitaries from Boonville and Cooper County.
It’s MU Health’s largest outpatient facility outside of Columbia and includes an urgent care and primary care. It also includes specialty services.
Boonville was without an urgent care for about three years, since Pinnacle Hospital closed in February 2020. The new urgent care is open seven days a week, from 8 am to 7 pm.
MU Health also has clinics in Fayette, Ashland, Fulton and Mexico.
