OCH schedules tentative meeting with possible affiliates

The OCH Regional Medical Center Board of Trustees set meeting dates for potential affiliation during its meeting Tuesday night.

After meeting in executive session, the trustees approved 47 questions to present to each entity. The entities OCH is looking to affiliate with are Baptist Memorial Health Care Corporation, North Mississippi Medical Center and University of Mississippi Medical Center.

CEO and Administrator for OCH Regional Medical Center Richard Hilton said the board is hoping to have each entity come in to answer the questions on May 8, 9 and 10 for a special meeting.

Hilton said those dates are tentative in case there are any conflicts with the different entities.
