Mission & Focus Areas
ICAHN’s stated mission is to share resources and education, promote efficiency and best practices, and improve healthcare services for member Critical Access Hospitals and their rural communities. It provides technical assistance with hospital administrative processes, shares resources, offers survey solutions and information technology services, and provides education on rural health issues and hospital operations.
ICAHN administers Illinois’s Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Program on behalf of the Illinois Department of Public Health Center for Rural Health. The program supports quality improvement, financial and operational improvement, population health, rural emergency medical services, and CAH designation support. ICAHN has also administered the Small Rural Hospital Improvement Program in Illinois since 2004. SHIP funding supports eligible small rural hospitals’ investments in areas such as technology, training, operational improvement, and patient care.
Recipients include hospitals and hospital-related organizations. For example, Midwest Medical Center describes its mission as providing caring, competent, and cost-effective healthcare to its community. Fairfield Memorial Hospital Foundation says it raises funds to support hospital equipment, facilities, and public education. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not ICAHN’s.
Grantmaking
In 2024, ICAHN reported 57 grants totaling $1,188,488. Awards ranged from $8,000 to $52,028, with a median grant of $19,028. Listed grant purposes include SHIP and Flex grants, as well as cardiovascular, asthma, tobacco quit line, and SCHLRP initiatives.

The filing also says grantees must request written permission for project changes due to unforeseen circumstances.
