Maury Regional Spends $165K So Far In Attempts To Ward Off HCA Hospital in Spring Hill
Posted on September 11, 2006

The Columbia Daily Herald reports that Maury Regional hospital has spent over 165-thousand dollars so far in its initial attempt to ward off HCA?s attempt to build a 56 bed hospital in Spring Hill.
Maury Regional CEO Robert Otwell has compared the hospital?s opposition to HCA?s proposal to David versus Goliath.
Maury Regional Marketing Director Rita Williams said any hospital in America is going to oppose a new hospital 14 miles from its front door. ?The potential loss of patient revenue is substantial and would significantly overshadow any expenses.?
A state board voted 7-1 in July to allow the hospital to be built. Maury Regional and Williams County Medical Center are appealing the decision.
