Clinch Memorial Hospital

What Clinch Memorial Hospital does

Clinch Memorial Hospital is a 25-bed, non-profit critical access hospital located at 1050 Valdosta Highway in Homerville, Georgia, founded in 1957 as the first public hospital in Clinch County. It serves as the primary acute-care provider for Homerville, Clinch County, and surrounding rural counties in Southeast Georgia, delivering emergency care (24/7), inpatient and outpatient services, radiology, laboratory, rehabilitation, respiratory therapy, gastroenterology, pulmonary rehabilitation, swing-bed (including ventilator and tracheostomy) care, pharmacy, and primary care through its Clinch Family Practice clinic. The hospital also offers telehealth consultations to extend reach across the rural catchment.

The underlying technology stack consists of standard third-party healthcare IT: a Cerner Electronic Health Record system, a Patient Portal, a Telehealth platform, and a Price Estimator tool for pricing transparency, with no proprietary technology assets identified. The hospital holds NIAHO accreditation from DNV GL Healthcare USA, Inc. and ISO 9001 quality certification, qualifying it for federal Critical Access Hospital status under 42 C.F.R. §485.

Revenue is generated primarily through patient care services reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, and patient payments, supplemented by philanthropic donations channeled through the Clinch Memorial Foundation (established 2018) and the Georgia HEART rural hospital tax-credit program. The go-to-market is community-anchored direct delivery: in-person at the hospital, via telehealth, and through the outpatient family practice. Strategic partners include Mercer University School of Medicine and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta through the KidsABC pediatric alliance, and DNV GL as accreditation body.
