HMH Primary Care South Earns National Recognition As Rural Health Clinic

Harrison Memorial Hospital is very pleased to announce that HMH Primary Care South, conveniently located on US 27 South in Cynthiana, has recently been awarded official accreditation as a Rural Health Clinic.
 
Rural Health Clinics are a special certification given to healthcare practices in underserved rural areas by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). More than 4,600 Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) in 45 states make up a key part of the rural healthcare infrastructure and help address health equity gaps in medically underserved rural communities to improve health outcomes for residents. 

The Harrison Memorial Hospital (HMH) staff worked successfully to pass a rigorous onsite survey dealing with patient services, infection control and diagnostic testing. The rural health clinic accreditation is valid for a three-year period. 

As a rural health clinic, the practice will have a special emphasis on health maintenance, preventive screening, a broad array of medical services, patient experience reporting, and benchmarking. 

“This certification validates HMH’s commitment to offer high-quality patient care,” said Dr. Stephen Toadvine, HMH Chief Executive Officer. “I greatly appreciate the HMH staff who worked diligently on the certification process and survey.”
