The financial case

Can behavioral health work financially in a rural hospital?

PMC evaluates community demand, reimbursement, staffing requirements, and program scope to help determine the right model for your hospital. Rather than forcing a traditional behavioral health model into a smaller market, we help build a program around the economics and resources you actually have.

Why PMC

Built for rural and critical access hospitals

Jessica Svidergol-Peterman COO, Meyersdale Medical Center

"Most critical access or rural hospitals don't have the manpower to put together a full program like this. PMC's program comes fully packaged and supported."
