Experience is everything

Let's face the facts, running a Critical Access Hospital is no easy task. As with any government program the amount of rules and regulations involved in operating under CAH status can be simply staggering. Couple that with a serious shortage of specialized personnel throughout all aspects of a facility, and the task becomes even more difficult. To be successful, you need administrative staff with experience in running a CAH facility, a specialized accounting staff with experience in CAH cost-reporting, cash reconciliation, departmental budgeting, and financial reporting. You also need to constantly recruit and maintain specialized medical staff to fulfill the medical needs of a rural community. So who can you rely on to build success within the difficult business model of CAH? Turn to the experts in operation and management of CAH facilities, Pioneer Health Services. We introduced the first and second Critical Access Hospitals to Mississippi. Today, Pioneer Health Services owns, operates and manages several CAH facilities in the Southeast and provides specialized services to other CAH facilities throughout the United States. Our experience and expertise in the CAH industry is unmatched.

A Specialized Team for a Specialized Industry

At Pioneer Health Services, we only service the Critical Access Hospital industry. Other facility management companies oversee many types of facilities and may only have a handful of people within the company who are familiar with the CAH model. By focusing solely on CAH, we have built an entire team of specialists; all departments of our company are focused on building and maintaining a successful CAH facility. Our teams have specialized expertise and implement programs that are designed, tested and proven within real CAH environments. You have to ask yourself, just how much better would your facility serve its community if every aspect of your hospital was run by experts in CAHs. That is the true benefit of having Pioneer Health Services as your management team. Our recruiting methods, our marketing campaigns, our revenue cycle management programs, and our accounting methods are all CAH focused.

It's not a takeover - it's a makeover

We live by our company mission to provide superior and compassionate healthcare services to rural communities. Our first and foremost concern is the level of care being provided. That value set is important when looking for the right management company. Our goal is to make your facility the best it can be for the good of the community. We are not in this business to take over facilities, clean house and start over. With Pioneer, all options will be on the table from the start, so you can weigh all of your management and operational options and find the course of action most beneficial to your community hospital.

Our track record speaks for itself

Ask us about our facilities. While all CAH facilities share certain common service attributes, they also share similar difficulties and challenges. At Pioneer Health Services, we believe our track record speaks volumes about our worth. We encourage you to meet with our hospital administrators, tour our facilities and speak with the community leaders we serve.
