Orem Community Hospital (OCH) specializes in outpatient services including obstetrics and same day surgery. Its relationship with Utah Valley Regional Medical Center means OCH has the backup and support of a larger hospital, while at the same time maintaining the personalized care expected from a community hospital.
Orem Community features 24 LDRP rooms, where mothers labor, deliver, recover and spend their postpartum stay all in the same room. This is a unique birthing option in Utah County. In 2008 1,426 babies were delivered at the hospital.
History Orem Community Hospital opened in 1981 as a maternity hospital, and after five years and a 13,000-square-foot (1,200 m2) expansion OCH became a full-service hospital, with an emergency room, Women's Center, medical surgical, laboratory, x-ray and health education services.
In 1995, the Central Orem Health Center addition was completed along with a WorkMed unit and the Utah Valley Pediatric Rehabilitation Center. A beautification of the campus began with the addition of a jogging path around the campus and soccer fields in conjunction with Orem City.
Famous quotes containing the words community and/or hospital:
“Commitment, by its nature, frees us from ourselves and, while it stands us in opposition to some, it joins us with others similarly committed. Commitment moves us from the mirror trap of the self absorbed with the self to the freedom of a community of shared values.”
—Michael Lewis (late 20th century)
“For millions of men and women, the church has been the hospital for the soul, the school for the mind and the safe depository for moral ideas.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
