Equipped to perform a wide range of medical services, the hospital provides medical care to more than 160,000 residents of one of the fastest growing counties in the nation, as well as the residents of adjoining counties.
“Charles provides new insight to smart growth issues in our community,” said Steve Cash, Executive Director of the Henry Council for Quality Growth. “A major component of smart growth is meeting the demand to provide medical services to an area’s residents. Henry Medical Center has grown from a rural hospital to a state-of-the-art medical center providing the much needed medical services to our county. Our Council members are anxious to learn about these new services of the hospital as well as Charles’ vision for the future.”
