Dodge County Hospital and Bleckley Memorial Hospital are pleased to announce a new management agreement that strengthens collaboration between the two neighboring rural hospitals. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to ensuring continued access to high-quality, local healthcare for the residents of Dodge and Bleckley counties.
Dodge County Hospital is a Prospective Payment System (PPS), acute care hospital licensed for 94 beds, with 20 beds designated for inpatient adult geriatric psychiatric services.
Bleckley Memorial Hospital is a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital, where outpatient, emergency, and sub-acute services are hallmark service lines and central to its mission of community-based care.
Under the agreement, Dodge County Hospital will provide management oversight and leadership support to Bleckley Memorial Hospital. The goal is to leverage each hospital’s strengths, enhance operational efficiencies, and expand access to essential healthcare services in both communities.
“This partnership represents a significant step forward for rural healthcare in our region,” said Michael Purvis, CEO of Dodge County Hospital. “By combining our resources and expertise, we can better serve our patients, attract and retain quality staff, and ensure the long-term sustainability of both hospitals.”
“Bleckley Memorial Hospital has been a cornerstone of our community for decades,” said John Roland, CEO of Bleckley Memorial Hospital. “This agreement allows us to remain locally governed while benefiting from the management experience and support of Dodge County Hospital. Together, we are stronger.”
John Paul Jones, Chairman of the Dodge County Hospital Authority, added, “Our board is committed to ensuring Dodge County residents have access to strong, sustainable healthcare close to home. This agreement strengthens both hospitals and helps secure that future for the communities we serve.”
Bill Cheek, Chairman of the Bleckley Memorial Hospital Authority, shared, “This partnership ensures that Bleckley Memorial Hospital remains a vital part of our community. By working together, our hospitals can share resources, strengthen services, and continue providing the quality care our patients depend on.”
Community members should expect the same compassionate care from the providers and staff they know and trust, now with the added benefit of stronger hospital partnerships working behind the scenes.
