At Ringgold County Hospital, we are committed to bringing the power of healthcare close to home. RCH is located in Mt. Ayr, Iowa. Our caring and professional staff serves the many communities of Ringgold County and beyond.
RCH has been providing care and services since 1951. By responding to the changing healthcare environment and continually developing services and technologies, we reduce the need for patients and families to travel long distances for quality healthcare.
Ringgold County Hospital is home to the Mt. Ayr Medical Clinic, which is equipped to offer quality general care to you and your family.
RCH also offers a wide range of medical services to our clients, including cardiac rehabilitation, inpatient care, dialysis, surgery, and more. Oncology, vascular, and cardiology are among the specialty clinics that visit RCH on a regular basis.

***SMOKE-FREE FACILITY***
As a health care institution, Ringgold County Hospital wants to provide a healthy environment. In support of the initiative started by the Iowa Hospital Association and recently written into law by Governor Chet Culver, our board voted to make the hospital a tobacco-free campus. This policy will be implemented July 1, 2008.
There are several reasons that we are changing our stance for a tobacco-free campus.
- There is a proven link between tobacco and many health issues. Therefore, it is hypocritical for us to promote healthy lifestyles while allowing tobacco use on our premises.
- The Governor’s ban restricts smoking in all public facilities. As a hospital open to the public, we need to comply with the Governor’s intent.
- Non-tobacco users have the right to come to a hospital that is free of smoke and tobacco products. Smoking receptacles at entrances means that non-smokers are likely to pass through cigarette smoke when entering the hospital.
Thank you for your support of this project.
