County to look at feasibility of hospital in Fort Scott

Bourbon County Commissioners have engaged in a cooperative agreement with a Kansas City, Mo.-based health care company to look at the feasibility of bringing a hospital back to Fort Scott and Bourbon County.

During a special meeting Friday, commissioners discussed the recent donation of the former Mercy Hospital building to the county, as well as contractual services between Mercy Kansas Communities, Inc., and the different providers for that facility, and an agreement between the commission and Noble Health Corporation for a feasibility study.
