The Randolph County Hospital Authority is receiving the funding to remodel and reopen Cuthbert, Ga.-based Southwest Georgia Regional Hospital, according to the report.
The 25-bed critical access hospital closed in October 2020 due to financial strain that was worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Randolph County Hospital Authority Chairman Steve Whatley said the entity is exploring two options for reopening. The other is as a rural emergency hospital, a model that did not exist when the hospital closed.
Mr. Whatley said the authority also has applied for a $20 million loan from the Agriculture Department and added that the state’s U.S. senators have applied for $13 million in federal funding for the hospital, according to the report. He said Randolph County Hospital Authority probably is about a year away from securing those funds.
