What Paulding County Hospital does

Paulding County Hospital (PCH) is a county government acute care hospital located at 1035 West Wayne Street in Paulding, Ohio, founded in 1961 and operating continuously for over 59 years under the ownership of Paulding County Government. The hospital serves residents of Paulding County and surrounding northwest Ohio communities through its main campus and four affiliated clinic locations — Antwerp Regional Medical Center, Oakwood Medical Center, Payne Medical Center, and the PCH Medical Office Building — providing 24/7 emergency care, general and laparoscopic surgery, diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI, digital mammography, echocardiography), laboratory services, oncology, wound care, sleep medicine, inpatient rehabilitation (swing bed), and a visiting specialist network covering cardiology, dermatology, gynecology, nephrology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, pain management, podiatry, urology, and urogynecology.

The hospital runs on a direct-to-consumer healthcare delivery model with revenue generated from insurance billing, Medicare, Medicaid, self-pay patients, and county government public funding. Ancillary subscription-based revenue streams include Fitness Center memberships ($20 individual / $40 family per month) and the Lifeline personal emergency response service ($25/month or pre-paid tiers). The hospital supplements operations through a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation (Paulding County Hospital Foundation, incorporated 1999) that accepts charitable donations, scholarships, and capital project funding — currently raising funds for a Family Comfort Room for hospice patients. Technology infrastructure is anchored by EPIC electronic medical record system (implemented 2012), upgraded CT equipment (2022–2023), and a My Chart patient portal.

The hospital's go-to-market relies on community-focused engagement: a seasonal Hometown Health Magazine, annual spring and fall health fairs, partnerships with local schools for sports physicals, and direct service delivery across five physical locations in a rural county. Cash-pay transparent pricing is offered for select preventive services including flu shots ($35), mammograms ($99 in October/November), and self-referral colonoscopy. Leadership includes CEO Ron Goedde and CFO Andrew Wannemacher (appointed 2019), with hospital operations overseen by a Board of Trustees.
