SUMMARY: The Perry County General Hospital in Richton could soon become a designated rural emergency hospital. This comes after officials with Forrest Health announced they are applying to have the hospital designated. If approved, the hospital would provide 24-hour emergency services, as well as lab work, diagnostic radiologic services, and inpatient and swing-bed care. The goal is to help the hospital maintain emergency and outpatient services, as well as receive government stipends and higher insurance reimbursements. Community members hope that this change will be helpful, as the nearest hospital is a long way from the area and sometimes the ambulance is not available. Forrest Health plans to apply for the status change within the next few weeks.

Services not provided would be inpatient care and swing-bed service. Patients requiring in-patient care beyond 24 hours will have to be transferred.
