Piedmont Healthcare and Henry Medical Center announced Monday that their partnership deal has won approval from the state Attorney General's office -- the last step in finalizing the deal.
The approval clears the way for Henry Medical to become an official part of the Piedmont system on January 1. Piedmont will lease the hospital's facilities and take over day-to-day operations, with oversight by a newly constituted board of directors for Henry Medical Center. The hospital, a 215-bed facility in Stockbridge, is owned by the Hospital Authority of Henry County.
