What makes Hutchinson County different: Hutchinson County's economy and its Medicare-age population are anchored by the Phillips 66 Borger Refinery and the adjacent Chevron Phillips Chemical complex (one of the world's largest inland petrochemical operations, with the broader Phillips 66 / Chevron Phillips / Solvay complex employing roughly 1,400 workers), so many local seniors are retirees of the oil-and-gas industry whose coverage transitioned from employer petrochemical plans into Medicare; the county's lone hospital, Golden Plains Community Hospital, is a 25-bed critical-access facility in Borger that became a locally owned, not-for-profit organization on January 1, 2023.
