Frederick, Okla.-based Memorial Hospital closed in 2016, leaving many residents over 30 miles from the nearest full-service hospital. 

Construction is expected to cost between $13 million to $15 million and is slated to begin in 2023. 

Funding will be provided through six different revenue streams, including the American Rescue Plan Act and the state.
