Alabama moves forward with Brookwood’s plan for Hoover hospital

Hoover, AL's quest for a hospital took an important step when a state regulatory council chose Brookwood Medical Center's proposal for a facility. The approval puts Brookwood's plan before the public for a 35-day open comment period which will begin at the end of October and end around January. Baptist Health, which came also proposed a Hoover hospital, did not oppose the project, saying it feared it would cause a delay in the process.
