Piedmont Henry Hospital is reportedly making a significant impact on the economy, locally and statewide.
The hospital generated $326 million in revenue for the local and state economy in 2010, according to a recent report by the Georgia Hospital Association. The report states that the cost of uncompensated care at Piedmont Henry is $11 million, including unpaid costs of Medicaid and Medicare for that year.
