Health agency files decision on Tennessee hospital

The Tennessee Health Services and Development Agency has filed an order approving a certificate of need for a 56-bed private hospital in Spring Hill. The approval overturned the decision of an administrative law judge, who ruled in favor of the appeal filed by Maury Regional Hospital and Williamson Medical Center. The agency ruled that neither public hospital could prove that the financial impact of the Spring Hill hospital would curtail their ability to provide services in their respective regions.
