The hospital closed in October 2016, citing financial constraints. 

The Quitman County board of supervisors voted Sept. 7 to reopen the hospital. The facility will reopen thanks to a partnership with Panola Medical Center, a 112-bed physician-owned hospital in Batesville, Miss.

When the hospital reopens, it will provide emergency care and beds for acute patients.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
