Sheldon Day, mayor of Thomasville, Ala. The city’s hospital, which opened at the start of the pandemic, has closed, due to that challenge along with some financial missteps. Unlike most shuttered rural hospitals, the facility in Thomasville is new and in good shape.
Day and other town leaders are hoping to make the case to state lawmakers and potential investors to reopen the $40 million, 29-bed hospital. (Stateline – Dec. 23, 2024)
