Hocking Valley Community Hospital

What Hocking Valley Community Hospital does

Hocking Valley Community Hospital (HVCH) is a nonprofit critical access hospital founded in 1906 and headquartered at 601 State Route 664 N in Logan, Ohio, serving the residents of Hocking County and surrounding rural southeastern Ohio. It is the only hospital in the county and operates a comprehensive, integrated delivery network spanning inpatient care (Intensive Care Unit, Medical Surgical Unit, Pharmacy, Transitional Care Unit), a 24/7 Emergency Department with helipad access, surgical services (general surgery, endoscopy, orthopedics, ophthalmology, urology), diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Mammography, X-ray, Fluoroscopy, Ultrasound), a 24/7 laboratory, rehabilitation (physical, occupational, speech therapy), and outpatient specialty clinics (cardiovascular, pulmonary, wound care, pain management, psychiatry, Hepatitis C, nutrition, anticoagulation). The hospital is affiliated with The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center since 2015, using the Epic/MyChart EMR and patient portal, and operates the HVCH Foundation, a 501(c)(3) philanthropic arm.

The underlying technology stack is conventional healthcare IT rather than proprietary: Epic/MyChart for electronic medical records and patient engagement (via the OSU affiliate), ACR-accredited diagnostic imaging systems, Pyxis automated pharmacy dispensing, and telehealth platforms for remote audio-video visits. Business model revenue is generated primarily through patient services billed to Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurers, and self-pay patients at chargemaster rates; supplemented by the 340B Prescription Drug Discount Program (offering up to 75% medication discounts through participating pharmacy Shrivers), and tax-deductible donations via the HVCH Foundation (annual partnerships, grateful patient program, corporate giving, planned gifts, and Kroger Community Rewards). HVCH provides approximately $6 million in uncompensated care annually and operates financial assistance programs up to 350% of the Federal Poverty Level (400% for Hocking County residents), with a 15% prompt-pay discount and payment plans. Accreditation footprint includes DNV Hospital Accreditation (CMS-approved, triennial), Joint Commission Laboratory Accreditation (biennial), American College of Radiology accreditations for Nuclear Medicine, Mammography, MRI, and CT, and AABB blood bank survey compliance.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Adena Health System: Regional health system based in Chillicothe, OH, serving rural south-central and southern Ohio communities. Comparable to HVCH as a mid-sized regional provider with a similar rural/Appalachian catchment and a mix of acute care, outpatient, and specialty services.
• Holzer Health System: Community-owned health system in Gallipolis, OH, with multiple hospital and clinic locations serving rural southeastern Ohio and West Virginia. Comparable geography, scale, and service mix to HVCH.
• Genesis Healthcare System: Integrated regional health system in Zanesville, OH, serving rural southeastern Ohio. Comparable to HVCH as a community-based provider with inpatient, outpatient, and specialty care across a similar rural Appalachian catchment.
• Fairfield Medical Center: Independent community hospital in Lancaster, OH — adjacent to Hocking County. Patient testimonies directly reference HVCH vs. Lancaster providers, indicating direct patient overlap. Comparable scope of inpatient, outpatient, surgical, and primary care services to HVCH.

Broad incumbents

• Cleveland Clinic: Large national health system with significant Ohio footprint including rural and regional reach. Functions as a tertiary/quaternary referral destination for HVCH patients needing specialty care beyond OSU Wexner's scope, and a benchmark for clinical quality and scale.
• The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center: HVCH's academic affiliate since 2015, providing specialty access, Epic/MyChart, and physician collaboration. While not a direct competitor, OSU Wexner is the natural tertiary referral destination and the institutional counterparty for HVCH's highest-acuity cases.
• Nationwide Children's Hospital: Major Ohio pediatric system. While HVCH provides pediatric care through its RHC, higher-acuity pediatric patients are likely referred to Nationwide Children's. Represents an indirect comparator for pediatric service capability and a likely referral partner.
• OhioHealth: Large not-for-profit Ohio health system with broad inpatient, outpatient, and rural community hospital reach. HVCH patients may be referred to OhioHealth for higher-acuity cases; OhioHealth represents a system-affiliated alternative to HVCH's independent model.

Others

• Memorial Health: Referenced in HVCH facility listings as the operator of the Logan Physicians Building primary care clinic. A regional Ohio health system that partners with HVCH in the local care delivery network.
• Hopewell Health Centers: Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) co-located with HVCH at the CIC Professional Building. Provides overlapping primary care and behavioral health services to the same population; an ecosystem partner as well as a partial competitor.
