Greenwood Leflore Hospital; authorize owners to sell or lease subject to certain conditions.
HB 1372 authorizes the City of Greenwood and Leflore County (current owners of Greenwood Leflore Hospital) to sell or lease the hospital property under specific conditions. New owners must competitively bid for the property, cover all hospital debts including Medicaid overpayments, and maintain key services like the emergency room, rural hospital program, and swing-bed program. The sale or lease must be completed within one year of the law's effective date, and new owners assume full responsibility for operating the facility. The bill also references existing law (Section 41-13-15) but focuses on enabling the transfer while preserving critical healthcare services.
