Liberty Regional Medical Center

What Liberty Regional Medical Center does

Liberty Regional Medical Center is a private, nonprofit Critical Access Hospital (CAH) headquartered in Hinesville, Georgia, operating a 25-bed acute-care facility on a 97,171-square-foot main campus within Lewis Ashmore Medical Park. Founded in the 1960s-1970s and serving Liberty County and surrounding rural South Georgia for over 50 years, the hospital maintains DNV Healthcare USA Inc. accreditation and a Level IV Trauma Center designation, offering emergency, inpatient, surgical, diagnostic imaging, laboratory, cardiopulmonary, rehabilitation, and perinatal services. The organization extends care through an integrated network of affiliated specialty physician practices (Liberty Family Medicine, Liberty Surgical Associates, Liberty OB/GYN, Liberty Cardiology, Liberty Regional Orthopaedics), a walk-in clinic, the Nancy N. & J.C. Lewis Cancer & Research Pavilion operated in partnership with St. Joseph's/Candler, the Liberty Regional Hyperbaric and Wound Care Center, and Coastal Manor, a wholly-owned 108-bed skilled nursing facility in Ludowici.

The hospital's revenue model is based on direct patient care services reimbursed through Medicare (under CAH cost-based methodology), Medicaid, and contracted managed-care payers including Amerigroup, CareSource, Humana, United Healthcare, and WellCare of Georgia, supplemented by retail pharmacy operations and long-term care revenue from Coastal Manor. It participates in the Georgia HEART (Help Essential Access to Rural Healthcare) Tax Credit Program, which allows state taxpayers to redirect tax dollars to the hospital, and the KidsABC pediatric program with Mercer University School of Medicine, the Georgia Rural Health Innovation Center, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, which extends pediatric specialty, mental health, and telehealth capabilities to its emergency department. The organization's go-to-market is community-led and geographically anchored, with multiple access points across Hinesville and Midway designed to keep care local for rural residents who would otherwise travel to metropolitan Savannah. Technology infrastructure includes high-speed fiber optics, wireless networks, and a mobile wireless point-of-care charting system; digital patient engagement is enabled via the MyCare Corner patient portal and online bill pay.
