Clay County Hospital

What Clay County Hospital does

Clay County Hospital is a county-owned, non-profit rural community hospital established in 1924 and headquartered in Flora, Illinois. It operates a 45,000 square foot main facility that opened on February 21, 2000, supplemented by three medical clinic locations in Flora, Louisville, and Clay City. The organization has been managed by SSM Health, a Catholic not-for-profit health system, since 2013, providing it with access to the SSM Health MyChart patient portal and integrated specialty referral pathways.

The hospital delivers a comprehensive portfolio of inpatient and outpatient services spanning a 24/7 Level III Emergency Department, inpatient and outpatient surgery, cardiopulmonary and diagnostic imaging (including CT, nuclear medicine, digital 3D mammography, and mobile MRI), a CAP-accredited full-service laboratory, behavioral health, pediatrics, a senior renewal intensive outpatient program, a swing-bed skilled nursing program, occupational health, ambulance/ALS services, and a drive-thru pharmacy. Specialty services are partially delivered through visiting physicians and telemedicine partnerships, notably pediatric emergency consultations from Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital (SSM Health) and cardiology services from Good Samaritan Regional Health Center.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through fee-for-service healthcare delivery reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance, supplemented by an on-site pharmacy and an outpatient infusion clinic. Approximately 315 employees support operations, and approximately 10,000 attended the 1950 dedication of the second hospital facility on the site where the institution still operates. Demand is supported by a sliding-fee financial assistance program aligned with federal poverty thresholds of up to 600 percent.
