Access to Medical Services
Total: $4,300,000
From the 1990s through the mid-2000s, ACHF acquired and developed medical office space in support of the hospital’s strategic direction. It allowed providers to be in close proximity to Ashland’s hospital and brought medical services and a pharmacy to Talent. The investment enhanced access to primary care, specialty providers and pharmaceuticals. In 2013, ACHF donated many of the facilities to Asante Ashland Community Hospital, where they continue to offer easy access to primary and specialty care.
