As a resident of Southeast Missouri, Northeast Arkansas and/or a consumer of healthcare in the Poplar Bluff Missouri area, I fully support the new Black River Community Medical Center's 3 bed community hospital on the Poplar Bluff Medical Partner's Campus. This 3 bed community hospital will be a taxable not-for-profit entity which will increase local economic revenue, add valuable healthcare services to our region, as well as create additional jobs for our community. I also understand that the Black River Community Medical Center's vision is to add additional beds to the hospital as the needs of the community increase.
