FORT SCOTT — Fort Scott will once again have a hospital.
Drew Solomon, chief executive officer of Noble Health Corporation, announced the non-profit will reopen as an acute care facility in what had been Mercy Hospital.
The announcement came at a press conference Monday in the former hospital, which closed its doors in 2018.
“We will be issuing in the coming weeks and months our queue for construction services for the revitalization and restoration of a community hospital in Bourbon County. That is our mission and our focus,” Solomon said.
