Fleming County

After more than a decade of planning and development, Fleming County Hospital has officially opened a new 100,000-s.f. facility, which provides twice the space of the previous hospital. The new $38 million facility houses 52 beds, the same as before, but enables the hospital to offer 36 private rooms. Though the new facility isn’t expected to create a need for additional staff, hospital officials say the new facility will serve as a good recruiting tool to attract more physicians to the area.
