==History==<br />
June 7, 2008, CRH experienced a flood of historic magnitude, causing severe damage to the hospital.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wthr.com/story/8449324/official-disaster-press-release-columbus-regional-hospital|title=Official Disaster Press Release - Columbus Regional Hospital|publisher=wthr.com|accessdate=10 April 2015}}</ref> The flood prompted the evacuation of 157 patients, and forced the hospital to shut down, with damages totaling over $180 million. Due to the flood, certain areas had been destroyed such as the laboratory, pharmacy, information services, food services, and mechanical and electrical systems.<br />
<br />
An interim [[emergency department]] was opened up in August 2008, and on October 27, Columbus Regional Hospital reopened with a new and improved facility.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.insideindianabusiness.com/newsitem.asp?ID=30772|title=Columbus Regional Hospital Returns to Facility After Flooding|publisher=insideindianabusiness.com|accessdate=10 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150416134530/https://www.insideindianabusiness.com/newsitem.asp?ID=30772|archive-date=16 April 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 2012, the [[Federal Emergency Management Agency]] backed a project to protect CRH from any future flooding. 15 [[flood gates]] were installed around the campus in order to keep water out. Today, CRH is a fully functioning, 225-bed not-for-profit, providing emergency and surgical services and comprehensive care.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indianapublicmedia.org/news/columbus-regional-hospital-tests-floodgates-30291/|title=Columbus Regional Hospital Tests Floodgates|publisher=indianapublicmedia.com|accessdate=10 April 2015}}</ref><br />
<br />
==WellConnect==<br />
In 2014, Columbus Regional Health opened up a new [[walk-in clinic]] called WellConnect in the downtown area of [[Columbus, Indiana]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.therepublic.com/view/local_story/New-wellness-concept-coming-to_1386645327|title=New wellness concept coming to area|publisher=therepublic.com|accessdate=23 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305131712/http://www.therepublic.com/view/local_story/New-wellness-concept-coming-to_1386645327|archive-date=5 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> In an effort to keep up with the times, CRH decided to create a new facility with a different approach on delivering [[health care]] services. The end result was derived from focus groups and surveys, to the benefit of those living in the downtown area.<br />
<br />
WellConnect is a place where patients can meet with wellness experts and [[healthcare professionals]]. They offer walk-in care for minor illnesses, wellness programs, [[massage therapy]], and cooking demonstrations. It is open to the public, Monday through Friday.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crh.org/about-us/news.aspx?story=10169|title=Columbus Regional Health Introduces WellConnect|publisher=crh.org|accessdate=23 April 2015}}</ref><br />
