Evans Memorial Hospital

What Evans Memorial Hospital does

Evans Memorial Hospital is a 49-licensed bed not-for-profit acute care hospital located in Claxton, Georgia, operating continuously since 1968. It serves as the primary acute care destination for rural communities across South and Middle Georgia, including Evans County and surrounding areas such as Statesboro, Vidalia, Swainsboro, and Reidsville. The hospital is governed by the Hospital Authority of Evans County and the Evans Memorial Hospital, Inc. Board of Directors, with Bill Lee (MHA, MBA) serving as CEO. It operates a 24-hour emergency department that serves more than 10,000 patients annually and provides 24/7 inpatient hospitalist coverage.

The clinical service portfolio spans imaging/radiology (64-slice low-dose CT, MRI, digital 3D mammography, ultrasound, DEXA, routine radiology), a CLIA-certified and Joint Commission-accredited laboratory operating 24/7, cardiopulmonary diagnostics and rehabilitation, infusion services (IV antibiotics, blood transfusions, iron and saline infusions), a two-OR surgical suite plus endoscopy and minor procedure rooms, and the Jack Strickland Rehabilitation Center, which features an aquatic rehabilitation pool and is an approved Silver Sneakers Program site. Telestroke capability connects the ED to remote neurologists, and an electronic health record with a MyCareCorner patient portal supports digital record access. Specialty physician coverage is delivered through hub-and-spoke arrangements with Savannah- and Statesboro-based practices in cardiology, nephrology, orthopedics, pain management, and podiatry. The hospital holds DNV Healthcare Inc./NIAHO full accreditation, Joint Commission lab accreditation, CLIA certification, FDA mammography certification, and ACR accreditation.

Revenue is generated primarily through patient services billed to Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurers, and self-pay patients, with pricing disclosed via a CMS-compliant charge master and DRG pricing file. Two supplemental, non-clinical revenue streams are material to the funding model: the Georgia HEART Rural Hospital Tax Credit Program, which gives Georgia taxpayers a 100% state income tax credit for contributions (capped at $5,000 individual / $10,000 married January–June, uncapped after July 1), and the Evans Memorial Hospital Foundation, a wholly-owned non-profit that runs tiered donor programs from Community Roots Circle ($1–$249) to Founders & Visionaries Circle ($10,000+) to fund equipment, construction, and renovations. Marketing channels include the hospital website, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, with the Foundation driving mid-funnel community fundraising.
