East Alabama Health (EAH) has stepped in to operate Bullock County Rural Emergency Hospital (BCREH) in Union Springs.

Following the notice of departure of BCREH’s previous operator, maintaining uninterrupted access to healthcare services became a top priority for Bullock County leaders. EAH, at the request of the Bullock County Health Care Authority, moved quickly to provide operational stability and continuity of care.

“Access to health care is vital for every community,” said Laura Grill, CEO of EAH. “We are honored to partner with the Bullock County Health Care Authority to support their commitment to the local citizens. We are working together to ensure that this hospital remains a reliable resource for the community.”

“Our focus is on stabilizing operations, strengthening local access to care and building a sustainable model that allows Bullock County residents to receive quality care close to home,” said Joseph Marchant, who leads rural health initiatives at East Alabama Health.
