Hodgeman County Health Center

What Hodgeman County Health Center does

Hodgeman County Health Center (HCHC) is a private, non-profit Critical Access Hospital located in Jetmore, Kansas, that serves as the sole comprehensive healthcare provider for residents of Hodgeman County. The organization operates a 17-bed facility (mostly private rooms) delivering 24/7 emergency and acute care, diagnostic imaging (X-rays, 64-slice CT, MRI via mobile partners, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, and mammography/DEXA), on-site laboratory services, physical therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, and a range of specialized services including general surgery, interventional pain management, wound care, and chiropractic care. It also runs the Skilled Swing Bed program (Medicare Part A covered) and Intermediate Swing Bed program (Long-Term Care Insurance and Medicaid covered) for post-acute transitional and long-term care.

HCHC extends its service footprint through two wholly owned operating subsidiaries: O'Shea Memorial Clinic, a five-room primary care clinic staffed by a family medicine physician and mid-level providers, located across from the main hospital; and Bramley Place Apartments, an independent senior living community offering one- and two-bedroom units. A third service line, a free county-wide transportation bus launched in December 2021 with a KDOT grant, removes geographic access barriers for residents traveling to outpatient, imaging, and surgical appointments. The organization has also launched the HCHC Healthcare Workforce Scholarship to recruit local students into healthcare careers with return-service commitments.

HCHC generates revenue from a diversified set of streams including acute and emergency services, swing bed programs (Skilled and Intermediate), outpatient diagnostics and therapy, clinic visits, rental income from Bramley Place Apartments, and transaction/administrative fees from the AblePay Health patient financing partnership. Reimbursement is principally from Medicare, Medicaid, Long-Term Care Insurance, and private insurance, with pay-as-you-go patient billing and a published Price Transparency Tool. The go-to-market model is community-based: sales-led outreach through direct community presence, physician referrals, word-of-mouth, and the scholarship/transportation programs, supported by the athenahealth-powered website and patient portal. The organization employs between 101 and 250 staff and has no disclosed parent company, no funding rounds, and no reported M&A activity.
