Llano County Hospital Authority is on track to receive a Critical Access Hospital designation, a certification that would provide financial support to the organization for caring for traditional Medicare patients.
The news comes as LCHA prepares to transfer management of the Llano hospital from Baylor Scott & White Health to MidCoast Health System in January.
The authority reviewed the hospital’s application for a Critical Access Hospital designation during a Thursday, Dec. 17, meeting. Along with the application, the authority reviewed the outcome of a recent inspection upon which the CAH application was contingent.
