Ellinwood District Hospital

What Ellinwood District Hospital does

Ellinwood District Hospital is a 23-bed Critical Access Hospital (CAH) and Rural Health Clinic operating as a public hospital district under Kansas state governance, serving the Ellinwood community and surrounding areas in central Kansas. The organization provides inpatient acute care, skilled and intermediate swing bed care, 24/7 emergency services (2 ER beds), and a broad outpatient portfolio including laboratory, imaging (X-ray, CT, mobile mammography, mobile MRI, sonography, Dexa), physical/occupational/speech therapy, respiratory therapy, and a walk-in clinic with telehealth-enabled remote examination technology. Five clinic providers deliver family care from newborns to seniors, and specialty services (urology, OB/GYN, cardiology, pain management) are delivered through outreach partnerships with external physicians visiting the Ellinwood facility on a periodic basis. A surgical operating suite led by a general surgeon, Direct Access Lab Testing (lab tests starting at $10 without physician order), and free sports physicals round out the service mix. The hospital is supported by the Ellinwood Hospital Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit fundraising arm.

The business model combines fee-for-service clinical revenue, CAH-designated enhanced Medicare cost-based reimbursement, and mill levy tax support. The $32 million state-of-the-art facility opened in July 2024, financed primarily through USDA loans, replacing the prior facility (scheduled for demolition in July 2026). Community engagement is structurally embedded: partnerships with USD 355 provide school-based concussion testing for 130 student-athletes, Ellinwood Heritage Senior Center meals are prepared on-site, and the Foundation runs community events including the After-Harvest Festival 3v3 Basketball Tournament and 5K. Marketing is community-driven via Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Leadership transitioned at end of 2025 when CEO Kile Magner (2015-2025) departed; Troy Moore, DPT, assumed the CEO role effective January 2026 after a national search. Technology integrations are standard healthcare IT: Cerner Health (patient portal), HealtheLife app, Phreesia (billing), and remote examination peripherals for the telehealth walk-in clinic — no proprietary AI/ML capabilities are documented.
