Coffee Health Group has made its bid before the Florence City Council and the Lauderdale County Commission, and Thursday evening, they are focusing their energies on the Shoals community.
For those who have questions about the proposed purchase of Coffee Health Group's facilities, it will be your chance to get answers. Starting at 6:00 p.m., Coffee Health Group will be hosting a live, hour-long webcast.
It's an interactive discussion that's meant to address public concerns about a potential transition from ECM to RegionalCare. Coffee Health Group Interim CEO Jody Pigg will be taking your questions.
"Since the proposal has already gone to the city and the county, we wanted to give people as quick an opportunity as possible to answer their questions. It's a convenient way for people to get information and not feel like they have to get dressed up and go somewhere", said Coffee Health Group Spokesman Tom Whetstone.
Whetstone has already received a slew of questions from hospital employees, retirees, and community members. He expects many more tonight.
"We know we'll have questions about the current process: How did we get to where we are? How did you choose RegionalCare? What were the differences in the proposals?", said Whetstone.
Whetstone also anticiapates questions regarding RegionalCare's commitment to build a new hospital to replace the current one.
