(neatowncourier.com) — County leaders meeting in Blytheville have taken the first formal step toward a special election that could change how the Mississippi County Hospital System is funded and operated, potentially shifting operations to St. Bernards Healthcare. Justices and hospital officials say the hospital faces an immediate financial crisis, and they’re racing to craft ballot language so voters can decide whether to amend the existing half-cent sales tax and, they argue, preserve local healthcare services.
