Henderson County Rural Health Center Inc.

Henderson County Rural Health Center Inc., doing business as Eagle View Community Health System, is a tax-exempt nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) based in Oquawka, Illinois, that operates as a prime recipient of federal grants supporting rural healthcare planning, network development, and primary care infrastructure in West Central Illinois and Eastern Iowa. The organization does not hold federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of grants from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Eagle View serves a five-county region comprising Henderson, Mercer, McDonough, and Warren Counties in Illinois, and Des Moines County in Iowa, operating within designated Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSA) and Medically Underserved Communities (MUC), which qualifies the center for HPSA/MUC funding preference on eligible HHS programs. The organization's recent federal grant work centers on four substantive capability areas: rural health network development and planning, primary care infrastructure support, social determinants of health (SDOH) acceleration, and pandemic-related healthcare access expansion. Over the past five years, Eagle View has received 16 total federal grant awards with combined obligated value of $58.6 million, all as prime recipient (100% prime, no sub-recipient arrangements), with activity averaging roughly two to three awards per year through 2023 and one award in 2026.

All federal funding derives from HHS, with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) accounting for the majority of grant awards. Representative recent work includes a $100,000 Rural Healthcare Services Programs (CFDA 93.912) Project Grant awarded July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 supporting the West Central Illinois Rural Health Network initiative in partnership with the Illinois Department of Public Health and OSF Holy Family Medical Center—this planning grant delivers community health needs assessment, care coordination model development, telehealth infrastructure expansion, and data-sharing systems to address provider shortages and geographic barriers to care. Prior grants include a FY 2023 Community Project Funding award (CFDA not specified) from the Healthcare Systems Bureau for pediatric dental care access totaling $517,783 in requested federal funding against a $1 million total project cost, a Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Accelerator Plan grant from the Center for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Support (award date September 30, 2022, completion January 30, 2024) targeting community-clinical linkages and food-security collaboration with multisectoral partners, a Health Center Infrastructure Support grant from the Bureau of Primary Health Care (award date September 15, 2021, completion September 14, 2024), and FY 2023 Bridge Access and COVID-19 Vaccination expansion grants from the Bureau of Primary Health Care. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete opportunity in the rural health network and infrastructure support categories.
