Meigs County hospital safety net: Holzer Health System operates the Holzer Meigs Emergency Department and clinics at the Meigs County Health Care Campus (Pomeroy) — a 24-hour freestanding ED with a helipad; inpatient care is at Holzer's main hospital in Gallipolis (Gallia County). Marietta's Memorial Health System also reaches eastern Meigs County.
Who it's for
Meigs County hospital safety net: Meigs = Holzer Meigs ED + clinics (Pomeroy, 24-hour freestanding ED) with inpatient care at Holzer Gallipolis — no full in-county hospital. Ohio's Hospital Care Assurance Program (HCAP) requires hospitals receiving HCAP funds (essentially all Ohio acute-care hospitals) to provide basic, medically necessary hospital-level services free of charge to Ohio residents at or below 100% FPL; each hospital's own Financial Assistance Program (typically sliding to 200-400% FPL) layers above HCAP.
