Continued Dedicated Service to Our Community Already into month two of 2026! Our world is just so crammed full of constant data flowing all around us, that I am convinced there is too little pause in our days, that time is truly moving faster! And no end in sight to less data. Guess that means we are all going to grow to be AI dependent in order to help us process it all – that’s a bit scary.   As we dissect the close of 2025 and compare it to the ultimate close of 2024, we have discovered some really interesting takeaways.  I reported throughout 2025 a sense of plateauing from the two previous high growth years in 2023 and 2024. The difference was that the growth in 2024 was managed largely from a cost-controlled strategy, despite dealing with substantial inflation. The reality of growing volumes on the back of controlling expenses led to a significant claw back from Medicare based on our efficient operations. Unique to our CAH world, CMS had overpaid us and forced us to refund a lot of the gain we thought we had achieved. Void of this “settlement knowledge” at the end of 2024, we did the right thing and made a major investment in our staff’s salaries to start 2025. This cost increase led to a comparative sluggish start for the first three quarters of 2025, until we elected to do an interim cost report, knowing our costs had increased significantly. Again, unique to our CAH world, we received a large make up payment from CMS, indicating they had underpaid us for the first ten months of 2025. So, all said and done, we finished 2025 in an extremely positive manner, and compared to the corrected year of 2024, our operating results appear to be very similar to each. It has truly been a lesson learned for me, as to the nuances of managing a cost reimbursed operation.   Our revenue cycle processing showed considerable improvement in the last quarter, and we are starting 2026 in an upbeat manner. I am reminded of our billing woes that leaked well into 2025, and I feel very optimistic that many of those issues have been corrected. This report has mostly focused on the backend of our hospital business, and I would be remiss not to add that none of that activity would even happen, if first of all we didn’t deliver the attentive and high-quality patient services at the front end. I thank both our Clinical and Non-Clinical teams for truly performing in a great manner throughout 2025! Let’s continue with these efforts throughout 2026! -Kevin Leeper, CEO

Continued Dedicated Service to Our Community I prepared the report for period ending 1-3-2026, but I can’t see that I sent it. So here it is, if you are ok with older news. Welcome to 2026, ready or not! On the 29 th  of December, it was announced that the State of Kansas was formally awarded $222 million of federal dollars over the next five years for the benefit of those delivering rural healthcare, AND secondly, a very pricey change in how the 340B program was going to be administered, was put on hold with a late December ruling to halt said change by a Federal Judge in Maine (and since held up by a US Court of Appeals)! Not a bad way to start our new year, but our challenge will be to follow the rules of securing a piece of the granted award. Getting a check will call for considerable conforming to new rules emanating out of HRSA and CMS – how else would you have a chance to that amount of Federal dollars?   This year’s calendar imposed both year-end holiday weeks into the same two week pay period, so our production performance reported below was about as weak as it could be relative to targets (only 5 green metrics due to multiple closed days) …with the exception of cash collections! I am very proud of the way our revenue cycle team overcame a rough start and middle to our 2025 calendar year and finished with some resounding collection efforts over the last quarter! For missing our 2025 annual budgeted revenue by nearly 7%, we managed to collect in cash nearly 12.5% more dollars than in 2024! A process that began the year gasping for air, managed to right itself quite effectively through lots of effort, led by Lisa Lee, Annette Rice, Sara Roberts and their collective staff. There has truly been some exceptional work put forth to achieve this turnaround. Thanks to all of you who contributed your time, knowledge, and energy!   So, there is real optimism heading into 2026, although tempered with some caution. Our number one objective, beyond hiring another physician or two, is to further grow and cement the retention of our primary service area’s commitment to use our facility’s’ services before going elsewhere. These two objectives go hand in hand, along with our commitment to being as efficient as we can in meeting our customers’ expectations. I truly think the evolution of AI will be an asset this year in helping us meet our objectives! It will be an eventful and sometimes bumpy ride, so I hope everyone is ready and willing!   Thanks for always putting our patients first! -Kevin Leeper, CEO

Continued Dedicated Service to Our Community As we brace for our first big winter storm, we can hope that Evergy keeps the lights on…hopefully not the same worry that some bigger cities in this storm’s pathway are wrestling with. MCH will be here no matter what, as our backup generator is well primed and tested.   Januarys are always extremely busy at the back end of our business, as the accurate closing out of the prior year is critical, as is the creation of a new budget for the new year. Changes in coding rules hit us, insurance plans change for many, inventories must be counted, and W-2s and 1099s must get prepared for the latest tax season efforts. So, from my chair, I am very grateful that those on the clinical side of operations (the important side of the ledger), are just as busy taking care of our patients and delivering the required services as directed by our providers! With kids back in school during winter months, it is likely that bugs are getting spread around, and illnesses are more common than not. So, try to stay well out there, my friends.   We had a great day last Friday, spent with Dr. Annie Heck, an FP/OB resident, available for her new placement, somewhere, this coming July. As usual, these new grads are sought by many communities in Kansas, so we must patiently wait for her to make her rounds, and keep our fingers crossed that she finds us the best fit for her budding career. We’d love to have you here, Dr. Heck, in case you are listening.   A retirement was announced at the beginning of this month, and it will be hard to say goodbye to Annette Rice at the end of January. She has been a long-time dedicated coder here and has taught numerous folks through the years about the intricacies of correct charting and documentation of what we do for each of our patients. We’ll miss you, Annette.   In wrapping up December numbers, I am pleased once again to verify that the fourth quarter was very good for demonstrating a growth, year over year, in the amount of work we delivered for our service area. After having relative flat growth for three quarters, activity in our final quarter pushed our 2025 year over 2024 in net patient revenues to a 10% increase. To all of you, we are so honored that you chose us for your required care.   We look forward to taking care of you in 2026. Thanks, MCH Team, for always putting our patients first! Have a great two weeks. -Kevin Leeper, CEO

Our Radiology Services CT Scan (Computed Tomography) Computed Tomography is a sophisticated form of x-ray imaging that provides pictures of the body in a series of slices. A CT scan shows clear images of bone, internal organs, muscles and blood vessels which allows doctors to distinguish between normal, diseased, or injured tissue. Learn More DEXA Scan (Bone Density) DEXA scans measure your bone density with a low dose of radiation, which is interpreted by sophisticated computer analysis. Your test results will assist your physician in determining whether you need treatment for bone loss. Learn More Diagnostic Radiology An x-ray image is produced when a small amount of radiation passes through the body. Your provider may order an x-ray to help diagnose an injury or disease in nearly any part of the body. Learn More Mammography This procedure uses very low doses of radiation to obtain images of the breasts, allowing doctors to detect small cancers even before they can be felt. Learn More MRI MRI provides excellent images without radiation exposure by using a super conductive electromagnet, radio waves and sophisticated computer software to generate and enhance images. The result is an unprecedented view of internal organs, body structure and systems which provide detailed images needed to make an accurate diagnosis. Learn More Nuclear Medicine Nuclear medicine comprises diagnostic examinations that result in images of body anatomy and function. The images are developed based on the detection of energy emitted from a radioactive substance given to the patient, either intravenously or by mouth. Generally, radiation to the patient is similar to that resulting from standard x-ray examinations. Learn More Ultrasound Ultrasound uses a hand-held probe to send high frequency sound waves into your body, then sophisticated software displays an image of the body’s interior by the rate at which the echoes return to the probe.
