Clarion Ledger--Vying facilities make pitches: Hospitals go head to head

Madison County's health needs will be determined by the state

If anyone was keeping score, it was 67 supporters appearing on behalf of St. Dominic Hospital building a 71-bed hospital outside Madison and 57 on behalf of HMA-owned Madison River Oaks up the road in Canton.

Advocates of the two hospitals were allowed their say Thursday, the final day of an almost three-week state Department of Health hearing, when administrative hearing officer Cassandra Walter opened the record to public comment.

Most, including a number of employees for both hospitals, stated their name and which facility they supported without making statements.
