Continuing a Legacy of Healing: Red Bird Mission Hospital to AdventHealth Red Bird Clinic

January 22, 2025

Sixty-five years ago, nestled in the heart of Clay County, Kentucky, the Red Bird Mission Hospital opened its doors with a mission to serve the healthcare needs of the local community. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a tradition of care and compassion that has deeply impacted the lives of countless residents in the region.
In its early days, the Red Bird Mission Hospital provided essential medical services to an underserved area and addressed the immediate health concerns of the community. Its establishment was a testament to the dedication and vision of those who recognized the critical need for accessible healthcare in rural Kentucky.
Today, AdventHealth proudly carries on this legacy through the AdventHealth Red Bird Clinic. As a continuation of the mission that started over six decades ago, our clinic remains committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care to the residents of Clay County and beyond. We understand the unique challenges faced by rural communities and strive to offer comprehensive healthcare services that address both physical and emotional well-being.
The AdventHealth Red Bird Clinic embodies the same principles that guided the original Red Bird Mission Hospital: a commitment to excellence, a passion for service, and a dedication to improving the health of our community. Whether it's through routine check-ups, specialized treatments, or community health programs, our team is devoted to making a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.
 As we reflect on the rich history of the Red Bird Mission Hospital and look forward to the future, we are inspired by the enduring spirit of care that has defined healthcare in this region. AdventHealth is honored to be a part of this journey, continuing to provide the compassionate and comprehensive care that has been a hallmark of this community for 65 years. With a sacred mission of extending the healing ministry of Christ, we are dedicated to serving our community with the same dedication and heart that has always been at the core of our mission.
In celebrating this milestone, we reaffirm our commitment to the health and well-being of Clay County, ensuring that the legacy of the Red Bird Mission Hospital lives on through the AdventHealth Red Bird Clinic. Together, we look forward to many more years of serving our community with the same dedication and heart that has always been at the core of our mission.
