Pratt Regional Medical Center

What Pratt Regional Medical Center does

Pratt Regional Medical Center (PRMC) is a nonprofit community hospital headquartered in Pratt, Kansas, serving South Central and Southwest Kansas. Originally dedicated in 1950 as Pratt County Hospital and operated under the Pratt Regional Medical Center, Inc. management entity since 1988, PRMC operates a full-service acute care facility that includes a 24/7 emergency department, a six-bed Intensive Care Unit, five operating room suites, the Family Birth Suites maternity unit, comprehensive imaging (Siemens 1.5T wide-bore MRI, 3D mammography, CT, ultrasound, nuclear medicine with SPECT), a full laboratory, a hospital pharmacy with Pyxis automated dispensing, and rehabilitation services (physical, occupational, and speech therapy). Outpatient specialty clinics are spread across Pratt, Dodge City, Liberal, Anthony, and Kinsley; specialty service lines include PRMC Bone and Joint (orthopedics with sports medicine and rodeo medicine), PRMC Surgical Specialists (minimally invasive general surgery including pediatric), Women's Health and Wellness, oncology (via the Cancer Center of Kansas Pratt satellite), infusion and wound care, and cardiac rehabilitation. Home health and telehealth extend reach within a roughly 30-mile radius of Pratt.

PRMC's technology footprint centers on clinical infrastructure and standard healthcare IT rather than proprietary software development. Patient-facing systems include two distinct portals — MyCareCorner (CPSI) for hospital records and AthenaHealth for Internal Medicine, Surgical Services, and Bone and Joint clinic visits — plus a Price Estimator tool, a financial assistance program (English and Spanish applications), and online bill pay. Imaging modalities include a Siemens 1.5T wide-bore MRI and Selenia Dimensions 3D mammography; the Endoscopy Department performed 1,247 procedures in 2025. Newer diagnostic capability includes the November 2024 addition of liver elastography. Back-office systems include Healthstream for employee learning, PRC for patient experience surveys, and Code Quick (named 2024) as full business office and revenue cycle management partner. Clinical governance is documented through DNV accreditation, Leapfrog 'A' Hospital Safety Grade (five consecutive years), CMS 5-Star rating, Top 100 Rural and Community Hospital (iVantage), NRHA Top 20 Community Hospital 2025, Top 100 Hospital nationally for Joint Replacement (Newsweek/Statista 2024), Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award 2024, Baby Friendly designation, and High 5 for Mom & Baby Premier recognition.

PRMC's revenue model combines insurance-based reimbursement — Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay, and charity care — for inpatient and outpatient clinical services with transaction-fee pricing for ancillary offerings. The LabDIRECT direct-access testing program lets consumers order their own lab work at reduced out-of-pocket cost by eliminating insurance billing; childbirth classes are priced at $40 per session; uninsured elective surgical procedures require a 50% prepayment of expected balance. Patients are acquired through a sales-led motion of local physician referrals, emergency services, and community presence rather than direct-to-consumer marketing. The organization is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors (Chair Bill Keller, Vice-Chair Becca Flowers) under CEO Tammy Smith, with no public funding rounds; primary external growth vehicles are regional affiliations (Edwards County Medical Center since 2016) and specialty satellite clinics, supplemented by the Pratt Health Foundation (founded 1990).
