Piedmont Healthcare Stops Construction on New Georgia Hospital, Announces Job Cuts

Rising borrowing costs, detrimental credit markets and reduced revenues have forced Piedmont Healthcare to delay the construction of a new $194 million hospital in Newnan, Ga., according to the Atlanta Business Chronicle.

The facility was to replace the old Newnan Hospital, which Piedmont acquired in March 2007.

The company has halted all capital expenditures, except for already-underway construction projects and emergency equipment; it has also limited hiring to critical vacancies and intends, over time, to cut 70 jobs, according to the report.

Even with the construction delay, Piedmont still plans to have the hospital completed by 2011.
