New Hospital Now

Our hospital and our community are seeking to build a modern, state-of-the-art hospital to replace the outdated United Regional Medical Center. A new hospital now will bring a birthing and Intensive Care Unit to Manchester in a state-of-the-art facility.

To complete this process, we must obtain a Certificate of Need (CON) from the State of Tennessee Health Services Development Agency. Manchester needs and deserves a NEW HOSPITAL NOW and we need your support to make it happen! We need your active support for a NEW HOSPITAL NOW, here’s why:

• Manchester is a growing community that saw 13 percent growth in just one year! This new facility is essential to the future health and safety our citizens.

• A new hospital now will mean MANCHESTER BABIES will be BORN IN MANCHESTER!

• A new hospital now will bring a modern Intensive Care Unit and more specialty care to our community, allowing us to stay in Manchester during times of critical need.

• The current 54-year-old hospital contains practically no private patient rooms, and requires patients queue up in line to use communal bathrooms.

• A new hospital now will create new jobs for Manchester, both in the hospital and out in the community. A quality healthcare delivery system brings business and opportunity to us!
