Audubon County Memorial Hospital & Clinics

What Audubon County Memorial Hospital & Clinics does

Audubon County Memorial Hospital & Clinics (ACMH) is a 17-bed Critical Access Hospital (CAH) located in Audubon, Iowa, serving Audubon County and surrounding rural communities. Founded in 1952 and operating as a non-profit community hospital, ACMH delivers a full continuum of inpatient and outpatient services including 24/7 emergency care, acute care, skilled nursing, laboratory, radiology (including 3D mammography and low-dose CT lung screening), rehabilitation (physical, occupational, speech therapy), cardiac rehabilitation, respiratory/sleep studies, and surgical services (general, laparoscopic, spine). The organization is supported by two rural health clinics—Audubon Family Health Clinic and Exira Medical Clinic—providing primary care for all ages from newborns to seniors, and an Outpatient Specialty Clinic offering over 15 specialty lines including cardiology, dermatology, ENT, oncology/hematology, orthopedics, pain management, podiatry, and OB/GYN.

The underlying technology stack centers on a standard healthcare IT footprint: Epic MyChart as the patient portal (with two-factor authentication implemented as of April 12, 2025), the Avera eCARE telemedicine integration for emergency department support, and the Hologic Envision 3D mammography unit (planned as the first such installation in Iowa). Technology serves an operational rather than differentiating role—ACMH is not building proprietary platforms but integrating established vendor solutions appropriate to a CAH's scale.

The business model is direct patient care delivery with multiple revenue streams: hospital/clinic services billed through insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid; outpatient specialty services; and telemedicine visits. ACMH captures patient volume through community-based outreach (health fairs, school partnerships, DAISY/ROSE award programs), a foundation-driven fundraising arm (Audubon County Hospital Foundation), and geographic capture as the de facto local provider. The hospital accepts insurance and operates a financial assistance program; pricing is not publicly disclosed but price transparency information is available online. ACMH has been recognized as a Top 100 Critical Access Hospital eight times in the past decade by The Chartis Center for Rural Health, and in 2017 was named a Top 20 CAH by the National Rural Health Association (top 1.5% nationally).
