Becker's Healthcare January 10, 2025
The Martin County (N.C.) board of commissioners has voted to sell or lease Williamston, N.C.-based Martin General Hospital, which closed on Aug. 3, 2023, after filing for bankruptcy, Washington Daily News reported Jan. 10.
“It has taken a lot of legwork for us to just get to this point,” Joe Ayers, chair of the county board, said during a meeting. “Whether we lease or sell, our end goal is to get a provider in there to start servicing the citizens of our community once again.”
The 43-bed hospital attempted to reopen as a rural emergency hospital in August under a federal rule that allows facilities in rural areas with less than 50 beds to convert to rural emergency status.
