About Us

Council Community Hospital/Nursing Home closed on March 15, 2002 leaving a free-standing rural health clinic. The nearest hospitals are located approximately one hour to the north and south of Council. The clinic struggled with providing services to the community with very little income in 2003. It was clear that the clinic would not survive the next two to five years and the community would be left without adequate health care services. In June of 2004, the clinic applied for a Federally Qualified Health Center designation. The designation was awarded on December 1, 2004 and Adams County Health Center was born. ACHC has been able to provide continued quality health care to the community and expand access to additional services.
