Mid South Growth in the Hospital Sector

I am thrilled to share exciting news about our continued growth in the hospital sector. We are proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Northwest Regional Medical Center in Clarksdale, Mississippi, effective January 1, 2025. This partnership marks a significant step forward in our mission to grow our business and expand God’s kingdom so that we can touch more lives.

The hospital is in capable hands under the leadership of Lorie Till, CEO, and Sylvester Thorton, COO and CNO. Their extensive backgrounds in hospital operations and their unwavering commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of the community will guide us. Together, we will work to collectively support the hospital to diversify the therapy services by adding additional clinical programs, making operational improvements, and ensuring high-quality services that truly meet the needs of those we serve.

We are excited about the plans to integrate new state-of-the-art therapy equipment, make cosmetic improvements to the therapy department, add therapists, and create comprehensive marketing materials. The existing therapy team is composed of long-term employees from the Clarksdale area who are dedicated, seasoned clinicians who love their patients and are deeply committed to ensuring that the people of their community receive the best care possible.

Furthermore, the hospital recently added Dr. Culpepper, an orthopedic surgeon, who has committed to collaborating closely with our therapy team at the hospital. His extensive expertise will complement our efforts and enhance the continuum of care we provide to the Clarksdale community. It is truly a blessing to have him serve this rural community.

Our therapy team is ready to assist patients on the road to recovery. Patients who have suffered strokes, fractures, degenerative neurological disorders, major multiple traumas, amputations, polyarthritis, cognitive difficulties, swallowing difficulties, knee or hip joint replacements, back and neck pain, sports injuries, balance problems, chronic pain, and a variety of other conditions will find therapists with a wealth of experience and clinical knowledge.

We look forward to serving the therapy team, the hospital, and the community of Clarksville.

With gratitude,

Steven L. Cole President and Chief Executive Officer
