Ron Dodson, chairman of Southern Regional, which oversees 331-bed Southern Regional Medical Center, said more than 500 residents in the area had to travel to downtown Atlanta for open-heart surgery last year.

The Georgia Department of Community Health is expected to make an initial decision on the proposal by June 21.
