McDonough District Hospital

What McDonough District Hospital does

McDonough District Hospital (MDH) is a nonprofit district hospital headquartered in Macomb, Illinois, founded in 1958 and operating as the second-largest employer in McDonough County with 550+ employees. It runs a 113-bed acute care flagship campus at 525 E. Grant Street supported by a distributed network of 15+ outpatient and specialty clinic locations across Macomb, Bushnell, and Monmouth, including primary care, convenience clinics, OB/GYN, pediatrics, behavioral health, general surgery, ENT, ophthalmology, orthopedics, sports medicine and rehabilitation, and a Sports Performance Center. The hospital also operates home health and hospice services, a drive-thru lab testing facility, a TeleHealth channel, an on-campus community pharmacy opened in January 2025, and the MDH YourCare Patient Portal.

The technology stack is anchored by conventional hospital infrastructure rather than proprietary platforms: 3D mammography, CT (with a second scanner added June 2025), MRI, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, X-ray, and DEXA imaging, alongside accredited laboratory and pathology services (CAP reaccredited through 2025) and a JRCERT-accredited School of Radiography. The hospital holds Joint Commission full accreditation, Level II Perinatal Care designation, Acute Stroke Ready Hospital status, and consecutive Leapfrog 'A' safety grades, with recognized clinical programs in cardiology/pulmonology, oncology, orthopedics (via Memorial Orthopedics partnership), and hospice (Hospice CAHPS Honors Elite recognition).

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service acute care, outpatient clinic visits, home health and hospice, diagnostic imaging, and a 340B Pharmacy Program, with services priced via insurance billing, a publicly accessible Patient Price Estimator, and financial-assistance mechanisms. The June 2020 affiliation with Blessing Health System extends specialty service capacity (cardiology, pulmonology, urology, Chest Pain Network). Patient segments center on residents of West Central Illinois across general, community-health, and senior/elderly cohorts, with go-to-market executed through community publications (MDH Today, Vital Signs), social channels, on-site events, and partnerships with regional providers.
