History

The main hospital was founded in 1890 as St. John Hospital by the Sisters of Providence. [3] [4] In 1975, ownership of the hospital transferred to Jefferson County Public Hospital District No. 2, which had been formed following a special election on August 15, 1961 authorizing establishment of the District. In 1985 the facility was renamed Jefferson General Hospital. [5] In 2004, the name was again updated to Jefferson Healthcare Hospital, to better reflect its status as the nucleus of an integrated healthcare system that had grown to include a number of hospital-based and community clinics. [3] [4]

In May 2013, the hospital revealed plans for a new 50,000-square-foot (4,600 m2) emergency and specialty services building. [6] The project was estimated to cost between $15 and 20 million, and broke ground to begin renovations in June 2015. [6]

Services

The hospital operates a level IV trauma center, and is the sole hospital in Jefferson County. It is designated as a critical access hospital. [7] [3]

Healthcare in China Overview of the health care system in China

Healthcare in China consists of both public and private medical institutions and insurance programs. About 95% of the population has at least basic health insurance coverage. Despite this, public health insurance generally only covers about half of medical costs, with the proportion lower for serious or chronic illnesses. Under the "Healthy China 2020" initiative, China has undertaken an effort to cut healthcare costs, requiring insurance to cover 70% of costs by the end of 2018. The Chinese government is working on providing affordable basic healthcare to all residents by 2020. China has also become a major market for health-related multinational companies. Companies such as AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, Eli Lilly, and Merck entered the Chinese market and have experienced explosive growth. China has also become a growing hub for healthcare research and development. According to Sam Radwan of ENHANCE International, China’s projected healthcare spending in 2050 may exceed Germany’s entire 2020 gross domestic product.
