Maintaining high-quality doctors in Haywood County emerged as a common theme in a public hearing last week on the future of MedWest-Haywood.
Hospital leaders are contemplating a sale, merger or lease of the Haywood County hospital to a larger system. Who owns the hospital is ultimately less important than the caliber of Haywood County’s medical community, according to several residents and civic leaders who spoke up at a public hearing last week held at the Haywood Regional Fitness Center.
