Sevier County Medical Center

What Sevier County Medical Center does

Sevier County Medical Center (SCMC) is a county-owned and operated critical access hospital located at 960 Highway 71 N, De Queen, Arkansas. It opened January 23, 2023, and serves as the sole acute care hospital for Sevier County and surrounding areas of Southwest Arkansas. The facility operates with 51-100 employees under a Board of Governors governance structure and is funded through a combination of county tax revenues, Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement, commercial insurance payments, and patient self-pay. It provides 24/7 emergency services, diagnostic imaging (MRI, CT, mammography, ultrasound, X-ray, DEXA bone density), respiratory therapy, laboratory services, and a full suite of rehabilitation therapies (physical, occupational, speech), plus a swing bed rehabilitation program for post-acute transitional care.

SCMC's core technology stack is built on GE Healthcare imaging equipment (SIGNA Voyager MR, Pristina Mammography, Revolution EVO CT, LOGIQ S8 Ultrasound, Lunar Prodigy DEXA, Optima XR646 HD X-Ray) and the Meditech Electronic Medical Record system. The hospital integrated with SHARE HIE (Arkansas's state-designated health information exchange) in August 2023 for interoperability. Specialty service lines include the Advanced Wound Care Center, the CHI St. Vincent Heart Clinic (cardiology on a twice-monthly cadence), and the AR-MOMS Women's Clinic (prenatal care, childbirth classes, breastfeeding support), each delivered via partnerships with CHI St. Vincent. Additional offerings include the Safe Haven Baby Box (under Arkansas Safe Haven law) and a financial assistance program offering up to 100% discounts for patients at or below 225% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, plus a 40% automatic discount for uninsured patients.

The business model is a fee-for-service community hospital: revenue is generated per encounter through direct patient services, with reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers (Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, CareSource). SCMC publishes its gross charges via a CMS-compliant chargemaster and provides discounted cash pricing. As a government entity, there are no equity funding rounds, no parent company, and no PE/VC ownership; growth is funded operationally through payer reimbursement and county support.
