SRMC Receives $10,000 Suicide Prevention Grant SRMC has been awarded a $10,000 patient safety grant to use toward preventing suicide, which has become the 10th leading cause of death, claiming more lives than traffic accidents each year.

Hospital emergency departments (EDs) are a focal point of care where those facing a suicidal crisis often seek help. EDs also frequently provide care for people with other risk factors for suicide, such as serious mental illness, substance abuse and chronic pain.

Funding from the grant will be used to enhance SRMC processes and educate staff and at-risk patients about best practices from the Suicide Prevention Resource Center.

The $10,000 grant was provided to SRMC by Coverys, which is nationally ranked in the top ten largest medical professional liability insurance providers.

On track to open in November, SRMC’s medical office building at 38506 Saltwell Road in Lisbon will house primary care services for area residents.

Since the 1980s, SRMC has operated a medical office building in Lisbon at 356 East Lincoln Way. “Over time, the existing office location has required ongoing repairs,” explained Anita Hackstedde, M.D., SRMC President/CEO. “Our Board of Directors made the decision to move forward with the construction of a new medical office building, because the greater Lisbon community is an important part of our Service Area, and we are committed to providing increased local access to primary care providers.”

Plans for the new building include expanded primary care services, with the possibility of adding specialty clinics in the future. In early March, certified nurse practitioner Suzanne Cavalier joined Dr. Maria Ryhal at the East Lincoln Way practice in Lisbon, and both providers will relocate to the new medical office building when it opens.
