Tennessee hospital reopens after year-long closure

The only hospital in Scott County, Tenn., reopened on Tuesday. 

Scott County Hospital in Oneida, Tenn., closed in July 2016, about three months after its owner, Magee, Miss.-based Pioneer Health Services, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

West Palm Beach, Fla.-based Rennova Health acquired the shuttered hospital in January and renamed it Big South Fork Medical Center.

"This opening is a realization of our ambition to provide a needed service to the community and create a new dawn for Rennova and our shareholders," said Seamus Lagan, CEO of Rennova, in a press release issued Wednesday. "We believe our investment and ability to facilitate the needs of doctors and other healthcare providers in the local area will enable us to exceed previous revenues achieved by this hospital."
