Bobby Ellis has accepted the position of support
center manager. Ellis received his associate’s degree in

State University in information technology. He has been
an employee since February, and most recently served as

“Bobby has shown great initiative since being employed
at the medical center. His professional background,

management position,” said Nick Swift, chief financial officer.

“Trever’s years of experience and her passion for

We are grateful for her leadership,” said Diane Perry, administrative director

Online Payment and Drive-Through
Services Offered
For the convenience of customers, MRMC is now offering online bill payment
as well as a drive-through service at the Annex located across the street
from the medical center, according to Chief Financial Officer Nick Swift.
“It was important to us that we provide our customers with more options
that are convenient and accessible,” said Swift. “People lead busy lives and
our goal is to make doing business with the medical center a little easier.”
To pay a bill online, simply go to mauryregional.com. An icon appears on
the home page in the blue column on the left. By selecting this option, you will
go to a safe and secure site to view your account charges and pay your bill.
On the initial visit, a customer will set up an account with a password that they
determine. Once an account has been activated, the customer can access it
at any time for viewing account activity.
For those who prefer to pay a bill in person, the cashier’s office has moved
to the Annex, which offers convenient parking and drive-through service. The
Annex is located at 1223½ Trotwood Avenue near McDonald’s. Office and
drive-through hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
Patient Accounts Director Kirby Hedrick stated, “In addition to making
payments more convenient, we have patient account representatives available
at the Annex to answer questions and assist individuals in managing
their accounts. We believe that customers will find our new customer-friendly
location beneficial in meeting their needs.”
