Index1A-01About Us

Rawlins County Hospital opened its doors in 1950 thanks to the untiring efforts of Dr. C.E. Henneberger, M.D. The hospital was operated by the Sisters of St. Joseph until the facility was leased to a private non-profit organization formed for the purpose of managing the property and running the hospital itself. The health clinic has evolved over the years to become the health center it is today. Our modern facility now houses a 24-hour emergency room, medical lab, and several other assets including a 10,170 square foot patient wing. But more than just a medical space, Rawlins County Health Center is an integral part of the Atwood community, dedicated to improving the health and quality of life of the individuals and communities being served. RCHC is also one of the largest employers in Rawlins County. To learn more about our dedicated staff, visit our Providers page.
