What Three Rivers Medical Center does

Three Rivers Medical Center is a 90-bed acute care community hospital located in Louisa, Kentucky, founded in 1974 and operated by Quorum Health, a healthcare management company headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee. The hospital serves Louisa and surrounding Lawrence County communities through a 24/7 emergency department, diagnostic imaging services (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, 3-D mammography, and sleep disorder diagnostics), four operating suites, two endoscopy rooms, and a cystoscopy room. Specialty service lines include cardiology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, behavioral health, pulmonary care, urology, women's health, rehabilitation, and a swing bed program for extended care. Gregory A. Kiser has served as CEO for 33 of the hospital's 50 years, providing unusual leadership continuity for a community hospital of this scale.

The hospital holds Joint Commission accreditation along with specialty accreditations from the American College of Cardiology (Chest Pain Center), American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, American College of Radiology, FDA (mammography), Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (echocardiography), and Accreditation Commission for Health Care (sleep lab). It has earned consecutive 'A' Hospital Safety Grades from The Leapfrog Group (achieving Straight A status in 2026) and CMS 5-star ratings for cleanliness and nurse communication. Patient-facing digital infrastructure includes the Health Record Home patient portal, online scheduling and pre-registration, online bill pay, and a Medicare Education Hub. The Simple + Price pre-pay program offers bundled transparent pricing for common imaging and lab tests to uninsured patients.

Revenue is generated through acute care hospital services billed to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance, with a self-pay component for uninsured patients. The hospital accepts most major insurance providers and offers financial assistance for income-qualifying patients. Operations are supported by R1 RCM for billing and Health Information Management, and Chapter for Medicare counseling partnerships. Billing operations follow a per-service/per-visit model with average realized collections disclosed in 2018 at less than 15 percent of charges. The hospital employs 251-500 staff and serves a largely rural, geographically concentrated patient population in eastern Kentucky.
