Huntsville Hospital Health System and the Jackson County Health Care Authority have jointly announced the completion of their due diligence process for the integration of their organizations. Under the 40-year lease agreement which takes effect October 1, Huntsville Hospital Health System assumes control and responsibility for operating all facilities of the Jackson County Health Care Authority, including Highlands Medical Center in Scottsboro, Cumberland Health and Rehab in Bridgeport, and Highlands Health and Rehab, also in Scottsboro.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to a long and successful relationship with the Huntsville Hospital Health System, and are excited for our community to benefit from it,\u201d said Bob Matthews, Chairman of the Jackson County Health Care Authority. \u201cThe Huntsville system has helped other North Alabama hospitals progress and thrive through their partnerships. We are happy to be the latest group to be integrated into the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jeff Samz, CEO of the Huntsville Hospital Health System, said the agreement was similar to what his organization had done with other community hospitals in north Alabama like Athens-Limestone Hospital, Decatur Morgan Hospital, Marshall Medical Centers, and others.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe welcome the Jackson County Health Care Authority to our Health System. Our relationship with Highlands Medical Center goes back many years and we look forward to working with their team as we serve our respective patients and communities,\u201d said Samz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
