CRH AND CHATUGE REGIONAL NURSING HOME (CRNH) HAVE A VISION TO BE THE "FIRST CHOICE" PROVIDER OF COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL SERVICES IN OUR AREA. WE VALUE OUR PATIENTS AND RESIDENTS AND BELIEVE THEY ARE OUR MOST IMPORTANT RESPONSIBILITY.

WE VALUE OUR COMMUNITY. WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE TREATMENT AND CARE OF OUR PATIENTS AND PROMOTION OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE WILL CONFRONT ALL ETHICAL AND MORAL HEALTH-RELATED ISSUES NECESSARY TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE VALUE QUALITY CARE AND WILL SEEK TO DELIVER CUSTOMER-FOCUSED, COST EFFICIENT SERVICES WITH COMPASSION AND CARING. EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2002, CRH WAS DEEMED TO BE A CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL BY THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES (CMS) AND BY THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH (DCH). CRH IS THE ONLY ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL IN TOWNS COUNTY, GEORGIA. CRH IS LIMITED TO 25 ACUTE AND INTENSIVE CARE MEDICAL/SURGICAL BEDS. THESE BEDS ARE ALSO USED FOR SHORT-TERM SKILLED NURSING CARE. OUTPATIENT SERVICES INCLUDE RADIOLOGY, LABORATORY AND OTHER DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES, REHABILITATION SERVICES, AND 24/7 EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES. CRNH IS THE ONLY NURSING FACILITY IN THE COUNTY PROVIDING SKILLED AND INTERMEDIATE LEVELS OF LONG-TERM CARE. CRNH IS LICENSED FOR 112 BEDS AND CONSISTENTLY HAS A WAITING LIST FOR ADMISSIONS. A MAJORITY OF THE RESIDENTS OF CRNH ARE MEDICARE AND MEDICAID BENEFICIARIES. IT IS A LONG-ESTABLISHED POLICY OF CRH TO PROVIDE QUALITY CARE FOR ITS PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. QUALIFICATION FOR HOSPITAL INDIGENT CARE IS SET AT 125% OF THE CURRENT FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES AND IS BASED ON SIZE OF THE FAMILY UNIT. CRH AND CRNH ALSO PROVIDE FREE OR REDUCED COST CARE TO ALL ELIGIBLE PERSONS REQUESTING CHARITY CARE ASSISTANCE. FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, INCLUDING ACTIVE LABOR, NO PERSON WILL BE DENIED CARE DUE TO AN INABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES.

CRH, IN CONJUNCTION WITH ITS SISTER HOSPITAL, UNION GENERAL HOSPITAL, ARE THE ONLY TAX-EXEMPT, NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS WITHIN THE IMMEDIATE EIGHT-COUNTY AREA OF THE NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA MOUNTAINS. DUE TO THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN AND BEING BOUNDED BY THE CHATTAHOOCHEE NATIONAL FOREST AND LAKE CHATUGE, TOWNS COUNTY AND ITS NEIGHBORING CLAY COUNTY, NC, HAVE SEVERAL VERY REMOTE COMMUNITIES FROM WHICH ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE CAN LITERALLY BE MORE THAN AN HOUR AWAY IN SOME CASES. TOWNS COUNTY ATTRACTS MANY VISITORS FOR CAMPING, HIKING, FISHING AND HUNTING. THE TWISTING MOUNTAIN ROADS ATTRACT BICYCLISTS AND MOTORCYCLISTS THROUGHOUT THE SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL SEASONS. THESE ACTIVITIES MANY TIMES RESULT IN MEDICAL EMERGENCIES, SOME VERY SERIOUS, FOR WHICH THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT OF CRH MUST BE PREPARED. CRH ESTABLISHED A FAMILY MEDICAL PRACTICE IN HAYESVILLE, NC (CLAY COUNTY) TO HELP MEET THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED IN THE COMMUNITY. THE MEDICAL OFFICE IS STAFFED WITH FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND SUPPORTED BY PHYSICIANS FROM CRH'S EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT.Expenses $30,394,774 · revenue $33,757,380
