What Knoxville Hospital & Clinics does

Knoxville Hospital & Clinics (KHC) is a non-profit Critical Access Hospital headquartered in Knoxville, Iowa, serving Marion County and surrounding south central Iowa communities. Founded in 1925 (with the current facility opened in 1981) and operating as an affiliate of MercyOne under a management and CAH agreement, KHC provides a comprehensive range of acute, emergency, primary, specialty, and outpatient healthcare services. Core service lines include a 24/7 Emergency Department, inpatient hospital care, diagnostic imaging (3D mammography, MRI, CT, DEXA, X-ray, nuclear medicine), the Weiler Foundation Specialty Clinics hosting 24 visiting specialists, the Don & Margaret Long Infusion Center for chemotherapy and immunotherapy (12 private treatment chairs), family medicine, rehabilitation services, laboratory, and a Virtual Visit telehealth option, supported by the My Knoxville Portal patient platform. KHC is currently executing a $21 million campus expansion (Weiler Specialty Clinics, Infusion Center, ED renovation) and a separate $14.6 million joint venture with Pella Regional Health Center to build the South Central Iowa Radiation Center, scheduled for 2027 opening, which will introduce TrueBeam linear accelerator and PET/CT imaging capabilities.

Revenue is generated primarily through patient care billing across Medicare, Medicaid, hawk-i, and private insurance, supplemented by foundation fundraising and grants; the KHC Foundation runs capital campaigns and golf classics, while major institutional donors include the Weiler Foundation ($5M), Helmsley Charitable Trust ($3.5M), Pella Corporation ($50K), and the Pearson Family ($40K). The organization also runs a wholly owned Auxiliary volunteer group and a joint-venture interest in the radiation center.
