Morgantown Care & Rehabilitation Center (MCRC) sponsored the Morgantown-Butler County Chamber's monthly luncheon.  MCRC is owned by Signature Health Care.
Amy Phelps, the administrator of MCRC, presented the program along with Jamie Howard, Admission Director, and Chaplin Derek Cain.
"Our vision is to radically change the landscape of Health Care forever.  Everybody, including me, completes Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training so we can better serve our residents. MCRC is the home to 122 residents right here in your community," said Phelps. 

MCRC is a skilled nursing facility offering a variety of comprehensive programs and services such as in-patient therapy and out-patient therapy, Rehab to Home Program on its own floor with 16 private rooms, Quality of Life activities program, Chaplain Program, and a secure unit for dementia care.
A company cornerstone is the spirituality pillar; interfaith Signature Chaplain Corps.  MCRC is privileged to have Pastor Derek Cain, a full-time chaplain that serves residents, employees and family members.
"We want our residents to continue to live life to the fullest extent possible, regardless of age or physical challenges," added Phelps.
Howard stressed MCRC’s connection with The Medical Center and Greenview Hospital.
“Most residents want to come to MCRC because Morgantown is their home or they know somebody or has family that works at MCRC,” said Howard. She shared a video featuring Jason Colter of Morgantown. CLICK HERE TO WATCH VIDEO https://youtu.be/MBOxugaRvTQ
