SUMMARY: Oktibbeha County supervisors are advancing plans to sell OCH Regional Medical Center after receiving no petitions against the sale by the October 10 deadline. Board President Marvell Howard stated the next step is to approve a request for proposals (RFPs) from private healthcare systems interested in purchasing the facility. This decision follows a public meeting in September where the board decided to put the hospital up for sale. Currently, there is no specific timeline for the sale process.
