East Liverpool City Hospital, part of Ontario, Calif-based Prime Healthcare Foundation, is the only hospital in the Ohio Valley that earned a 5-star CMS rating in 2023. Additionally, the hospital received a safety grade of “A” from The Leapfrog Group for the sixth consecutive year. The 152-bed acute care hospital was founded in 1905 and serves a population of over 115,000, focusing on closing the gaps in care access and providing a safe, high-quality patient care experience. In April 2023, the hospital collaborated with the Ohio Department of Health to open The East Palestine (Ohio) Clinic, which provides traditional comprehensive primary care, acute illness treatment, health maintenance and preventive care services, prescriptions, lab testing, and specialist consultation scheduling. Other recent accomplishments include the East Liverpool City Hospital’s outpatient clinic starting a 340b program that offers discounted prices on certain patient medications.
