Murray is home of the largest pubic hospital in the lakes area, the Murray/Calloway County Hospital.  Serving the west Kentucky and northwest Tennessee region for over 90 years, MCCH is a 366-bed facility with over 60 physicians representing 26 medical specialties.  Murray's accreditations include the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the Kentucky Health Facilities and Health Services, the American Association of Blood Banks, and the Kentucky Department of Health and Human Services.  

Cancer patients can now receive treatment locally at the Regional Cancer Center. Operated by MCCH, the Regional Cancer Center allows patients to receive treatment for cancer in Murray, rather than travel long distances to major hospitals.  A quote from their website: "We have made a major investment in the Regional Cancer Center to insure the latest technology and the most specialized cancer treatments and care are available now in Murray."  

Murray-Calloway County Hospital's newest facility is the J. Stuart Poston Center for Health and Wellness.  The facility offers a wide variety of programs for exercise, nutrition, and general health and safety. At the center, you will have the opportunity to participate in aquatics programs for adults and children, aerobics classes for all ages, prenatal/postnatal exercise classes, and much more.  For more information about the J. Stuart Poston Center for Health and Wellness, and Murray-Calloway County Hospital, visit their website at www.murrayhospital.org. 

The hospital began an aggressive expansion in 2007.  The project will add well over 100,000 square foot of space at a cost of $40 million.
