Welcome to Pike Community Hospital

Pike Community Hospital will be joining Adena Health System. It is expected that Pike and Adena will join operations in March of 2012.

Earlier this year, after preliminary discussions with other healthcare organizations, Pike Health Services entered into formal negotiations with Adena. Since then, senior officials from Adena and Pike have been meeting to determine how both organizations would join services to continue to best serve the people of Pike County.

In December, the board of trustees from both organizations signed and approved affiliation documentation that will join Pike Health Services and Adena Health System.

“We are excited about Pike becoming a part of Adena. This will be a win-win for patients in this region,” said Jeff Graham, Adena’s Chief Strategy Officer, and Craig Solle, Pike’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Even before negotiations began between the two organizations, Adena and Pike had a good working relationship, with Adena providing surgical-services support to Pike Health Services.

“Patients will benefit the most from this affiliation,” said Solle.

“Adena will be enhancing existing services and developing new patient services at Pike. There also will be an extensive investment in a technology platform surrounding Electronic Medical Records. This EMR system will drive real-time patient information to physician providers, which will enhance quality outcomes in patient care,” Graham said.

Pike Health Services will become the second Critical Access Hospital to join Adena. In 1999, Adena Health System and Greenfield Medical Center joined together to create the Adena Greenfield Medical Center.

“Adena is very familiar with the operations and the importance to area residents having access to their community hospital and what it takes to have Pike Health Services continue to be a viable resource for the patients it serves,” Shuter said.

Today, Adena Greenfield Medical Center continues to grow patient services and has received recognition as one of the most profitable critical access hospitals in the nation.
