What Davis County Hospital & Clinics does

Davis County Hospital & Clinics (DCHC) is a non-profit Critical Access Hospital (CAH) founded in 1947 and headquartered at 509 North Madison Street in Bloomfield, Iowa. Designated a CAH in 2002 and affiliated with MercyOne through a management and CAH agreement, the organization operates 51-100 employees and serves as the primary healthcare access point for Davis County and surrounding Southeast Iowa communities, providing a 24/7 emergency department, inpatient care, primary care, specialty clinics, diagnostic imaging, laboratory, rehabilitation, infusion, sleep medicine, senior mental health, and public health services.

The technology backbone is an Oracle Health/Cerner Electronic Health Record powering the MyDCHC Patient Portal, with integrations to Apple Health Records and the HealtheLife mobile app. In April 2026, DCHC deployed the GE HealthCare SIGNA Artist Evo MRI — the most advanced MRI system in Southeast Iowa — featuring AIR Recon DL deep-learning reconstruction, 70 cm bore, and feet-first scanning. Telehealth is delivered through a partnership with Avel eCare, and specialty breadth is expanded via channel partnerships including UnityPoint Health Grinnell ENT Clinic. The organization holds CLIA laboratory certification and American Heart Association Mission: Lifeline Stroke Post-Acute Care certification.

DCHC generates revenue primarily through professional services billed to patients and third-party payers (insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, self-pay) across emergency, inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, and ancillary service lines, with financial assistance available for uninsured and underinsured patients. Community programs — including Meals on Wheels, Community Wellness Lab screenings, and a Health Services Education Scholarship — operate alongside the Davis County Hospital Foundation (est. 1985), which funds equipment and capital needs through charitable donations. Recent strategic emphasis has been on diagnostic technology investment (MRI), safety infrastructure overhaul (2025 Spotlight Safety Award), and stroke care certification.
