West Tennessee Healthcare to Begin Operations of Henry County Hospital

PARIS (September 13) — Due to the passing of West Tennessee Healthcare President and CEO, James “JR” Ross, the previously scheduled ribbon cutting ceremony for September 19 has been rescheduled to November 7. JR was passionate about Henry County Medical Center joining the West Tennessee Healthcare family, and he believed in the positive impact the partnership would bring to the community.

West Tennessee Healthcare- Henry County Hospital invites the community to a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating a new era in healthcare for West Tennessee. Henry County Medical Center was previously owned and operated by the county of Henry. However, due to financial challenges, the county found a partner in the medical industry to operate the hospital.

The event will now be held on Thursday, November 7, 2024, at 2 p.m. in the main lobby of the Paris, Tennessee hospital.

Join us for leadership remarks, light refreshments, and a chance to connect with the dedicated staff at the heart of this partnership.

This celebration marks a significant milestone in the commitment to enhancing healthcare services for the residents of West Tennessee. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will feature remarks from leaders of both HCMC and West Tennessee Healthcare, highlighting the collaborative efforts to expand healthcare access, and provide an opportunity for the community to network with local healthcare professionals. West Tennessee welcomes all community members, local officials, and healthcare professionals to join in this celebration.
