Supported by an experienced board of seasoned healthcare providers and physicians, we bring valuable expertise to every partnership, ensuring sustainable success and positive impact on the healthcare community.
Ensuring Stability Through Long-Term Management
At Kerith Brook Health, we know that not every hospital or urgent care center is looking to sell. For those who want to remain independent, we offer long-term management contracts that provide executive leadership, financial discipline, and operational support — without sacrificing local ownership.
Our approach is built on sustained partnerships, not short-term fixes. By embedding deeply with each organization, we bring the expertise, staffing strategies, and resources needed to stabilize operations, strengthen community trust, and secure long-term growth.

Hospital Designations
-
Critical Access Hospital (CAH)
Small rural facilities with 25 or fewer beds that deliver 24/7 emergency care and receive cost-based Medicare reimbursement to remain sustainable. These hospitals are often the backbone of rural healthcare, ensuring access to essential services in remote communities. Their designation helps offset financial challenges and keeps care local.
-
Rural Emergency Hospital (REH)
A new model allowing rural hospitals to discontinue inpatient services while focusing on emergency and outpatient care, supported by monthly federal payments. REHs provide a lifeline for communities at risk of losing their hospitals altogether, preserving access to urgent treatment, diagnostics, and preventive services. This designation is designed to stabilize struggling facilities without the burden of inpatient care.
-
Prospective Payment System (PPS) Hospitals
Standard acute care hospitals reimbursed under Medicare’s prospective payment system, serving both rural and urban communities. PPS hospitals offer a broader range of inpatient and outpatient services and operate under fixed payment rates for efficiency and predictability. They are the traditional model for general healthcare delivery and often act as regional referral centers.
