Noxubee General Hospital leads by example for rural hospitals
SUMMARY: Noxubee General Hospital in Mississippi is bucking the trend of rural hospitals struggling financially. While other medical facilities are closing down, Noxubee General is expanding its services. The hospital offers a range of services, including primary care, long-term care, rehabilitation, wound and infusion services, and specialty providers like podiatry and cardiology. The CEO of the Noxubee Medical Complex, Meg Ebert, emphasized the importance of supporting rural hospitals, as they provide quality care, create jobs, and are an economic driver for the community. Ebert encouraged other rural communities to support their local hospitals and receive care at home.
