Regional Medical Center Hosts Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to Honor Doctors’ Dedication with Newly Named Departments

Standing room only as the community came out to show support for Regional Medical Center. The ribbon cutting ceremony marks the Dr. Danny Hood Intensive Care Unit and Norman Floyd McGowin Department of Surgery as fully operational with plans of additional upgrades in the near future.

Frey Medical Management acquired Regional Medical Center 3 months ago and is already seeing growth in employment, patient retention and community involvement.

Bringing the hospital from the brink of closing with 90 people at risk of losing their jobs– the hospital now replacing those positions to meet the need of a previous average of 4.7 patients a day to now 30 in only 3 months.

The Dr. Danny Hood Intensive Care Unit ICU has 7 beds with a goal of 20 total.

Dr. Danny Hood and Dr. Norman Floyd McGowin have dedicated their careers to the Butler County community for 50 years and have worked to keep the facility growing.
