Licking Memorial Health Systems

What Licking Memorial Health Systems does

Licking Memorial Health Systems (LMHS) is a not-for-profit, community-governed integrated healthcare delivery organization headquartered in Newark, Ohio, that has served Licking County continuously since its founding in 1898. The system is structured as three entities under a volunteer Board of Directors: Licking Memorial Hospital (LMH), an acute care hospital at 1320 West Main Street providing emergency, inpatient, surgical, critical care, maternal-child, cancer, cardiac, behavioral, and rehabilitation services; Licking Memorial Health Professionals (LMHP), an employed multi-specialty physician group of 100+ physicians across 28 medical and surgical specialties; and Licking Memorial Health Foundation (LMHF), the fundraising arm. LMHS operates a countywide footprint of family practices, urgent care centers in Granville, Downtown Newark, and Pataskala, the Shepherd Hill behavioral health facility, home care, and outpatient laboratory, imaging, rehabilitation, and surgery sites. The organization employs 2,600+ individuals and is led by President & CEO Rob Montagnese.

LMHS's core technology stack centers on a conventional hospital information system anchored by the MyChart patient portal (online scheduling, records access, secure messaging, bill payment, and telehealth/video visits) and complemented by patient-safety hardware such as barcode Bedside Medication Verification, Smart IV infusion pumps, continuous cardiac monitoring in ICU/CCU, and advanced diagnostic imaging (nuclear medicine, ultrasound, stereotactic breast biopsy, mammotome, digital C-arms, digital X-ray). The system carries a dense stack of accreditations (Joint Commission, DNV-GL, ISO 9001-2015, Commission on Cancer since 2000, AABB, ACR, IAC, AACVPR) and has been named to Truven Health Analytics' 100 Top Hospitals for 12 consecutive years while earning recurring CHIME Most Wired recognition.

LMHS generates patient-services revenue from a mix of Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payors, supplemented by 340b drug pricing program receipts and Licking Memorial Health Foundation fundraising. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and includes the Hospital Care Assurance Program (free hospital-level care for Ohio residents at or below federal poverty guidelines) and a Financial Assistance Program (discounts for residents earning up to 250% of federal poverty guidelines). The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer across Licking County, with top-of-funnel demand generation driven by community wellness programs (ActiveFit, ActiveSenior, Walk with a Doc, Safe Sitter, Camp Cool), sponsored events such as the 'For Your Health' 5K Run/Walk with The Dawes Arboretum, Buckeye Valley Family YMCA, and Park National Bank, and a multichannel digital presence. Customer concentration is highly diversified across Licking County's geography rather than any single payor or employer anchor.

• Mount Carmel Health System: Trinity Health-affiliated nonprofit system operating hospitals, physician practices, and outpatient services across the Columbus metropolitan area. Comparable to LMHS as an acute-care community health system serving overlapping central Ohio geographies.
• OhioHealth: Large nonprofit health system based in Columbus with extensive inpatient, outpatient, and physician practice operations across central and southeastern Ohio. Comparable to LMHS as a regional acute-care provider, though OhioHealth operates at significantly greater scale and breadth.
• Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center: Major academic medical center in Columbus offering tertiary and quaternary care across all major specialties. Comparable as an Ohio-based provider that draws complex referrals away from community systems like LMHS.
