Crawford County Memorial Hospital

What Crawford County Memorial Hospital does

Crawford County Memorial Hospital (CCMH) is a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital located in Denison, Iowa, founded in 1951 and governed by a publicly elected five-member Board of Trustees under Chapter 347 of the Iowa Code. The hospital operates as a public, county-owned non-profit facility and is the primary healthcare provider for Crawford County, with a workforce of 265 staff and over 200 community volunteers. It serves patients across all ages from pediatric to geriatric care through inpatient, outpatient, emergency, ambulance, surgical, rehabilitation, mental health, women's health, and senior care service lines, plus eight visiting specialty clinics (audiology, cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, nephrology, ophthalmology, podiatry, vascular).

The hospital's technology footprint is entirely third-party and patient-facing rather than AI-driven: it integrates Cerner Health for the patient portal (with the HealtheLife mobile app), Xpress-Pay for online bill payment, and Para-HCFS for price transparency and a price estimator tool. A modern facility built in 2011 at 100 Medical Parkway is being expanded by 14,000 square feet (opened February 23, 2026) to absorb patient volume that has nearly tripled over the past decade, with interior renovations continuing through approximately December 2026.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service patient care across the diversified service lines, supplemented by Medicare cost-based reimbursement under the Critical Access Hospital designation and Iowa Medicaid payments. CCMH pursues community-engaged go-to-market through content marketing, a healthcare podcast ("Here's to Your Health"), social media, wellness events, and the Scrubs Camp workforce pipeline program. The hospital has no parent company, no private equity involvement, and no disclosed revenue figures, operating instead under community governance with elected board oversight and active participation in Iowa Hospital Association and American Hospital Association advocacy.
