MU Health Care is a key academic health system in the Jefferson City region and offers new innovations and discoveries in medicine to the community.

The centre already started adding new specialty services at Capital Regional Medical Center, comprising a spine clinic, a bariatric surgery and weight management programme as well as emergency medicine observation unit.

University of Missouri health affairs vice chancellor Nim Chinniah said: “For more than two decades, MU Health Care and Capital Region Medical Center have had a shared commitment to find a way to provide the best care for mid-Missouri, a way to keep patients close to home and to support the health of our communities beyond the walls of our hospitals.

“We are thrilled to have completed the evolution of our shared commitment and we express our deep appreciation to the Capital Region Medical Center Board for their tireless leadership, stewardship and partnership throughout this process.”
