INTEGRIS Mayes County Medical Center is a licensed 52-bed acute care hospital in Pryor, located in northeastern Oklahoma in the heart of Green Country. The hospital, formerly known as Grand Valley Hospital, was built in 1954.
The hospital provides the residents of Mayes County and surrounding areas a reliable resource for meeting their health care needs without traveling to larger cities to receive similar services. Since 2001, the hospital has invested nearly $10 million in new construction and updating of the facility including expansion of its top-rate Physical and Occupational Therapy department, a new ambulatory care unit, new surgery unit, newly remodeled OB unit and an expanded line of diagnostic imaging services.
The hospital is nationally recognized for clinical excellence and is accredited by the Joint Commission. It is a member of the Oklahoma Hospital Association, Voluntary Hospitals of America and the American Hospital Association.
Third Graders Get a Glimpse of Health Care Careers
 INTEGRIS Mayes County Medical Center was recently paired with a third grade class from Bernita Hughes Elementary School in Adair, Okla., for the Third Graders Go to Work program established by the Pryor Area Chamber of Commerce. Representatives from the hospital visited the third grade students, explaining the different kinds of jobs that are available in a health care environment. Afterward, 20 aspiring youngsters enjoyed a field trip to INTEGRIS Mayes County Medical Center where the students were able to visit with nurses, physical and occupational therapy personnel and radiology staff members. The Human Resources department led two students through mock interviews to give them an idea of how they should present themselves when they want to apply for a job.
Relay for Life
Hope – it’s what keeps us going when we’re overwhelmed by discouraging circumstances. More than 100 survivors were introduced and presented with an individually wrapped butterfly during the 14th annual Relay for Life in Pryor’s Whitaker Park. In the past the cancer survivors have been given balloons to release during the opening ceremonies of the relay but in a symbolic gesture of hope, INTEGRIS Mayes County Medical Center sponsored the release of 12 dozen Monarch butterflies at this year’s Relay for Life in June. When the signal was given, the survivors opened their boxes and the butterflies took to the skies. Many of the butterflies flew away, but throughout the evening, quite a few of the beautiful creatures fluttered around the park, enjoying the abundance of clover.
Annual Mayes County Women’s Health Fair
 The For Women Only Health Fair of Mayes County is held annually on the last Monday of August. The program began in 1996, spearheaded by former first lady Cathy Keating as part of a state-wide women’s health initiative. This year several health-related agencies, businesses and services joined forces to provide screenings and health information to the 200-plus women from throughout the Mayes County area. Women can receive blood pressure checks, glucose and cholesterol checks, BMI assessments, hand massages, hearing tests and more. The event, held at the First United Methodist Church, is catered by the INTEGRIS Mayes County Medical Center dietary staff, and a local Girl Scouts troop assists in keeping the food table stocked.
Chamber of Commerce Great Days of Service
 Volunteers from Mayes County gathered at INTEGRIS Mayes County Medical Center to register and participate in the Pryor Area Chamber of Commerce Great Days of Service. The event brought volunteers from the community together to join forces in doing community service projects throughout the county. The youth group from the Church of Christ in Pryor worked vigorously to weigh, stack and sort all the food brought in for the Great Days of Service Food Drive. In one day, residents of Mayes county donated 9,000 pounds of food for area food pantries, surpassing the 5,000 goal for this inaugural event.
