History
[edit]Patrick County residents have been without local emergency medical care since September 2017.[5] The Patrick County Hospital, closed in 2017 after filing for bankruptcy in 2016, leaving the county without a hospital.[2] In 2022, in response to a great need for healthcare services in Roanoke County, the founder, Sameer Suhail decided to acquire and build a new hospital.[2]
Chicago-based company named Foresight HS Property Holdings – Blue Ridge, LLC bought the property in April 2022.[1] The deed to the property was previously held by Patrick County Real Estate, LLC. A spokesperson for Chicago-based Foresight HS Property Holdings – Blue Ridge, LLC confirmed that a purchase agreement for the vacant hospital campus is in place and that "Foresight has plans to move forward with a new healthcare facility".[1]
