In that capacity, ECH serves as a rural acute care manager, performing lifesaving services and coordinating the transfer of patients in need of additional and immediate care to other hospitals with which it has agreements in place.
High-quality Care Close to Home
Due to the remote nature of the region, the hospital and its specialty clinics allow residents to obtain high-quality care close to home.
