Our laboratory department works closely with physicians in the surrounding areas as well as throughout the state. Test results can be mailed or faxed directly to physicians, which allows patients to undergo tests close to home even if their physician is outside of the community. Most testing is completed within hours, but when a test requires a special reference laboratory, the results are typically available within 2-3 days. All normal test results are also available to patients through our patient portal.
All of our laboratory technologists and technicians are specially trained and certified. In addition, they maintain high quality control standards for each test they perform to ensure absolute accuracy and reliability.

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a supervised program that includes exercise training, disease, and medication education, and breathing techniques for individuals who have certain lung conditions that prevent them from doing daily living activities. Pulmonary rehabilitation will help you manage your disease, increase your stamina, and decrease your breathlessness.
At Meade District Hospital, our Pulmonary Rehabilitation Director will educate you on how to pace your breathing with activities and prepare an exercise program just for you. The exercises will begin at a level that you can handle. The amount of time you exercise will be increased through time and the level of difficulty will change based on your ability. As your muscles get stronger, you will exercise longer with less breathlessness and exhaustion.
The admission criteria for the program requires a physician order. Patients who benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation include those who have or have had:
Patients are assessed and tested for placement in the program. After the initial assessment, a monitored exercise and education program will begin.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation may improve your quality of life by:
Although Pulmonary Rehabilitation can't cure lung disease, it can be of great benefit.
Educational Programs
The education classes will provide information about:
Monitored and Supervised Exercise
A physical activity plan is tailored to your needs. Exercise helps improve endurance and muscle strength.
Psychosocial Support
People with chronic lung diseases are more prone to depression, anxiety, and other emotional problems. By participating in a rehab program and gaining control of your health can help lower your stress, anxiety, and depression levels.

Call Meade District Hospital at (620) 873-2141 and ask for the Radiology Department for information about our radiology services.
In 2015, MDH installed a new OTC12 Digital Radiographic System in the Radiology Department.
If you need more information than an x-ray can provide, we have a 16-slice Toshiba CT scanner available 7 days a week.
A computerized tomography (CT) scan combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images, or slices, of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body.
We strive to make mammograms as comfortable as possible!
You no longer need to travel if your physician orders an MRI. Every Wednesday we are able to provide MRI services via a traveling service. This is a great option for diagnosing internal issues without the risks of radiation. With a physician order, you can schedule your MRI appointment by calling 620-873-2141.
In 2016, MDH purchased a new GE Millennium camera capable of doing heart studies, thyroid scans, bone scans, and hida (gall bladder) scans. This technology compliments our other diagnostic tests. Where an MRI or a CT scan shows us what an organ looks like, nuclear medicine is able to show us how that organ is actually functioning. This can be incredibly important when diagnosing some types of heart problems.
Our Phillips ultrasound machine is available 4 days a week Mon-Wed and Fri, and is capable of Echocardiograms, vascular ultrasounds, upper abdominal ultrasound, testicular ultrasound, renal ultrasound and bladder ultrasounds.
The sonogram/ultrasound technology uses high-frequency sound waves to make images of the internal structures and organs.
With our GE Lunar machine, we are able to offer DEXA scans to screen for osteoporosis and predict your risk of bone fractures. This can also be referred to as an osteogram, bone density test, and bone densiometry. It is not to be confused with nuclear bone scans which we also offer.
DEXA scans are available Monday-Friday.

Each wound is treated individually. Treatments are specific to the patient as well as to the cause and type of the wound. A comprehensive treatment approach is used between Wound care, physicians, surgeons, podiatrists, radiology and nurses to help wounds heal faster and prevent them from recurring. In severe cases, treatment is focused on saving as much of the limb as possible instead of amputation.
Wound healing stats with the right diagnosis. We diagnose each would for its type and cause. Using a variety of tests, we can determine the diagnosis and treatment options. Diagnosis tests include Dopper Testing and ABI (Ankle-brachial index).
