Iron County Medical Center

What Iron County Medical Center does

Iron County Medical Center (legally operated by the Iron County Hospital District, doing business as Iron County Medical Center) is a Critical Access Hospital located at 301 N Hwy 21 in Pilot Knob, Missouri. Founded in 2003, the facility serves as the primary acute-care provider for Iron County and surrounding southeast Missouri communities. The organization operates as a public hospital district under a community board and is led by CEO/CNO Billie Jo Russell and CFO Brittany Mooney, with no private equity, venture, or institutional ownership evidenced.

The service portfolio spans 19 integrated lines organized into two delivery channels: a Family Care Clinic (covering Primary Care, Cardiology, ENT, Gastroenterology, Podiatry, Rheumatology, and Women's Health) and a full Hospital Services program (Radiology, Laboratory, Inpatient Care, a "Next Steps" Swing Bed transitional care unit, Outpatient Therapy — PT/OT/ST — Surgery, Respiratory Services including sleep testing, Cardiac Rehab, Emergency Services operating 24/7, Pharmacy Infusions, and Financial Assistance). A second location at 600 N Main St houses a Physical Therapy and Sleep Institute. Underlying infrastructure includes standard CAH diagnostic imaging (MRI/CT/X-ray), EHR systems (Epic/Cerner referenced in job postings), an athenahealth Patient Portal, and a Sliced Health-hosted price transparency tool with a published machine-readable file.

Revenue derives from inpatient, emergency, diagnostic, surgical, specialty clinic, and swing-bed services reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid, commercial payers, and self-pay. The Critical Access Hospital and Rural Health Clinic designations underwrite cost-based Medicare reimbursement, while sliding-fee schedules, uninsured discounts, and payment plans support access for financially constrained patients. Physician coverage is supplemented by individual credentialing affiliations with larger regional referral systems — Missouri Baptist, St. Lukes Des Peres, Mercy Jefferson, Parkland Health Center, OSF Healthcare St. Anthony's, Redbud Regional, and Ste. Genevieve County Memorial — supporting care continuity and downstream referral flow. Marketing channels are dominated by the icmedcenter.org website, an active Facebook presence, Google reviews, and community outreach such as the F.A.S.T. stroke-awareness initiative.
