Community Welcomes SMITH COUNTY EMERGENCY HOSPITAL Hundreds of grateful community members thronged the dedication ceremony in January for Smith County Emergency Hospital in Raleigh, Mississippi – showing strong local support for a big healthcare upgrade and major economic boost. “I want to thank the Board of Trustees of Covington County Hospital for being willing to take on this project,” Gregg Gibbes, CEO of the hospital, told the attendees, “and having the vision to be able to say that we can go into another county, like we have in others, and create access to care where it doesn’t exist.” Fits the Mission Gibbes said the project fit Covington County Hospital’s “deeply held mission of serving others, serving patients, and trying to do it in a way that would create sustainability for not just their hospital in Covington County, but for the surrounding areas that they’ve collaborated with.” 2025 Spring/Summer 16
