Harrison County Hospital

What Harrison County Hospital does

Harrison County Hospital is a county-owned, not-for-profit Critical Access Hospital located in Corydon, Indiana, providing acute, emergency, and specialty healthcare to the residents of Harrison County and adjacent Crawford County, IN and Meade County, KY. Founded in 1950 and re-established on a new $60 million campus in 2008, the hospital operates a single integrated facility with a 24/7 Emergency Department, intensive care unit, general and orthopedic surgery, obstetrics (currently suspended), a 7-14 day Swing Bed Rehabilitation Program, wound care, infusion, sleep medicine, and full diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI, X-ray). It runs specialty clinics in rheumatology, dermatology, cardiology and oncology through partnerships with Norton Healthcare and (effective January 2026) Deaconess Health System, supported by satellite family medicine practices in New Salisbury, Elizabeth, and Georgetown and an After Hours Care clinic.

The hospital's technology stack is anchored by Oracle Health as the enterprise EHR, with the privacy policy disclosing the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations — explicitly noting AI does not replace independent clinical judgment. Operational systems include a Your Health Link patient portal, teleradiography, and an Alliant group purchasing relationship that drove 12% supply savings (earning the 2024 Supply Chain Excellence Award).

HCH generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service patient care billed to Medicare (Critical Access cost-based reimbursement), Medicaid, private insurance including Cigna, and self-pay. A modest retail revenue layer comes from $99 cardiac wellness screenings and $20/$60 flu vaccines, while the HCH Foundation contributes donations, scholarships, and capital. The hospital employs approximately 60 doctors and mid-level providers within a total headcount of 501-1,000, and is led by CEO Dr. Lisa Clunie (since January 2022) and COO Lisa Lieber (since August 2022).
