Budget cuts forces local hospitals to pick-up slack - Associated Press

Some hospitals are increasing services for poor Mississippians, as county health clinics face tightening budgets. Mississippi Public Broadcasting reports (http://bit.ly/29UI0Fg) the University of Mississippi Medical Center Hospital in Holmes County will begin offering pre-natal care this year to some of the state’s poorest residents. The decision to open the clinic is relatively new. Paige Lawrence is the hospital’s clinical director. She says most pregnant women in Holmes County had travel between Jackson or Grenada to receive care. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jul/25/budget-cuts-forces-local-hospitals-to-pick-up-slac/
