SRMC Welcomes New Compliance Officer

Sidney Regional Medical Center (SRMC) has announced Burke Radcliffe, a longtime Sidney resident, as the new Chief Compliance and Security Officer for SRMC. Radcliffe is new to the healthcare field, having spent the last 17 years in the finance department of another major employer in the area.

The role of compliance and security is vital to all healthcare organizations as healthcare entities must maintain an ongoing focus to ensuring every patient’s experience is safe and their information is secure. Compliancy Officers are charged with making sure all employees are compliant with all government mandates, including regulations for participation with Medicare and Medicaid as well as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

“We welcome Burke to SRMC and know he will have much success in this position,” said Jason Petik, Chief Executive Officer at SRMC.

Schrotberger Returns To Set Up Shop

Dalton/Gurley area native Todd Schrotberger has returned to his home stomping grounds to set up a fertilizer and chemical business.

Working as (308) Ag, Schrotberger will offer chemical and fertilizer sales, custom application, drone work and other services to area farmers.

Schrotberger began his career at the co-op in Bridgeport, and returns to our area after five years in the Imperial area.

(308) Ag has set up shop in the old Adams Trucking building north of Sidney.

Businesses Make A Move

Two Sidney businesses have swapped locations. High Point Family Medical and ReMax Real Estate made the move recently.

The move brings a doctor’s office back to the corner of 10th and Newton, where Dr. L.S. O’Holleran had his practice for many years.

Kelly Lapp’s ReMax returns to the downtown area, now residing in the office at 1013 10th Ave.

SRMC Recognizes Nurse Trio

Sidney Regional Medical Center (SRMC) has recognized the efforts of three nurses. Cheri Berry RN, Dianne Dorwart RN, and Jody Grabowski LPN, were recognized at a surprise gathering for the many hours spent providing the children of our community well-baby and annual immunizations for over 30 years.

Evie Ranslem-Parsons, SRMC director of public relations, said the nurses’ dedication ensured that the children in this region had access to receiving the state and nationally recommended vaccinations during the bimonthly clinic.

During the event, it was announced feedback received from community focus groups and area schools indicated a need to increase access to availability. In response SRMC said, parents will now be able to get vaccinations for their children during their well-baby or regularly scheduled doctor’s visits. Immunizations are also available Monday through Friday by scheduling a nurse visit.
