The Yadkin County Board of Commissioners has taken another major step toward
restoring healthcare to the citizens of Yadkin County.
County Commissioner Chairman Kevin Austin said, “We have entered into two
contracts with healthcare consulting firms that will provide the County with detailed
analyses on the financial models and building needs of the hospital facility. One of the
contracts is with Spectrum Health Partners of Franklin, Tennessee who will prepare a
series of financial models to provide the County with numerous options relative to the
future of our hospital and the healthcare needs of our citizens. The other contract is
with Criterion Healthcare of Concord, North Carolina who will prepare a physical
analysis of the current hospital facility and conduct a series of public forums in the
County to educate the citizens on the steps the County is taking to insure the
sustainability of delivery of healthcare to the community. We believe these two studies
will enable our Board of Commissioners to make sound decisions on the best and most
efficient healthcare needs for our citizens for decades to come.”
