The Challenge

The rural healthcare environment is complex and difficult to navigate.

The regulatory guidelines CAHs must follow demand strict compliance in reporting and auditing; however, it takes specialized expertise to turn the information from these reports and audits into useful data that can aid in creating more efficient operations.

        The Solution

        First Care Health Center has looked to Eide Bailly for healthcare guidance for over a decade.

        In addition to tax, audit, cost reporting, and price transparency, Eide Bailly worked with First Care Health Center to establish the role of their new CFO, Nina Hollingsworth. “Eide Bailly goes above and beyond, and is continuing to go above and beyond, even day-to-day as I continue to work through what I’m still learning,” says Nina.
