Clay Co. Not Involved With Cancelled Hospital Meeting

Clay County Mayor Dale Reagan said the county is not involved in the cancellation of the Cumberland River Hospital meeting.

Tuesday’s meeting was reportedly postponed because several participants were not ready. Reagan said the county is mainly a bystander while Celina and EMS officials try to meet with Hospital Owner Johnny Presley.

“Just being there and being supportive of it,” Reagan said. “I think it is a miscommunication there (…) It is just a miscommunication that is going to have to be worked out.”

Reagan said he still supports planning a meeting to resolve the differences between the parties. Reagan said no meeting participants have contacted him to reschedule at this point.

“Always, we are concerned of the well being of our citizens,” Reagan said. “And Emergency Medical Services are a big thing for us there in the county. Not only for the well being of the citizens, but the economical stand point on it as well. The county, we are always supportive of trying to do what we can.”
