Boone Health

What Boone Health does

Boone Health is an independent, non-profit regional health system headquartered in Columbia, Missouri, operating a 392-bed full-service hospital as a regional referral center for 26 mid-Missouri counties. It provides inpatient and outpatient care across primary care, cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, neurology, obstetrics, intensive care, and emergency services, delivered through a flagship hospital campus plus 10+ primary care clinics and a network of specialty clinics in Ashland, Boonville, Centralia, Glasgow, Hallsville, Mexico, Moberly, Sedalia, and additional Columbia locations. The system reports approximately 2,000 employees, 350 physicians on medical staff, Magnet nursing designation (five consecutive), CMS 5-star rating, and consistent U.S. News, Healthgrades, and Forbes recognition.

The operating technology stack centers on a MEDITECH electronic health record with a patient-facing portal (Boone Health Connection) and the MHealth mobile app for Apple and Android providing self-service access to records, scheduling, messaging, and bill payment. Specialized clinical capabilities include the Stewart Cancer Center (~2,000 annual oncology admissions), Boone Family Birthplace with NICU, Boone Health Cardiology Clinic (offering MitraClip and TAVR procedures unavailable elsewhere in mid-Missouri), a Cancer Genetic Screening Service staffed by City of Hope-certified nurse practitioners, and dedicated orthopedic volume (4,000 surgeries, 1,500 joint replacements, 1,000 spine surgeries annually). AI capability is delivered via Boone Health's founding membership in the Suki nursing consortium for ambient nursing documentation integrated across Epic, MEDITECH, and Oracle Health EHRs, with downstream integration into AvaSure's virtual care platform.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service patient care across inpatient, outpatient, emergency, surgical, diagnostic, and specialty service lines, billed primarily through insurance (including Medicare/Medicaid) with select program-level pricing such as the Fit For Delivery prenatal class ($150 per enrollment). Distribution occurs through the hospital campus, primary care and specialty clinics, physician referral networks, convenient care walk-in locations, and the Boone Health Connection patient portal. Strategic physician group partners include Columbia Orthopaedic Group, Mid-Missouri Neurosurgery, City of Hope cancer genetics network, and St. Louis Children's Hospital for pediatric cardiology. The organization is publicly searching for a strategic partner to support capital expansion under President and CEO Brady Dubois.
