Mineral Community Hospital

What Mineral Community Hospital does

Mineral Community Hospital is a nonprofit, Level IV Trauma Receiving Facility located in Superior, Montana, founded in September 1920. It is the largest private employer in Mineral County with 90+ employees and a stated $13M annual operating budget. The hospital operates a nine-member community Board of Directors (five elected district members and four corporate members) and is governed independently without a parent organization.

Core services span the full care continuum for a rural critical access hospital: 24-hour emergency department, acute inpatient care, primary care clinics (main Superior clinic and the Jack Lincoln Clinic in St. Regis added in 2025), laboratory services (CLIA-certified high-complexity), diagnostic imaging (digital X-ray, 32-slice CT installed in 2017 via a $400K Helmsley Charitable Trust grant, digital mammography with ACR accreditation, MRI, echocardiogram), rehabilitation (physical, occupational, speech therapy), IV infusion therapy, outpatient surgery and endoscopy/colonoscopy, telemedicine via Doximity including telepsychiatry, skilled swing bed and long-term care, and a home-delivered meals program run in partnership with Superior Community Outreach. The hospital also coordinates VA Care in Community services for enrolled veterans and participates in trauma training with St. Patrick's Hospital, Community Medical Center, and LifeFlight.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service billing to patients, Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, and the VA, with quote-based hospital pricing, a publicly disclosed chargemaster, and a sliding-scale financial assistance program for uninsured patients. The affiliated Mineral County Medical Foundation supplements operations through tax-exempt community donations, having raised nearly $300,000 over the past 15 years. Marketing and community engagement occur through the company website, an MCH Minutes health education series, a hosted Mineral County Community Calendar, and foundation fundraising events. Marketing channels are predominantly local and content-driven, targeting Mineral County residents, veterans, homebound seniors, and long-term care patients.

Broad incumbents
