Boone County commissioners meet Thursday afternoon and are expected to vote on a resolution involving the potential sale of Boone Hospital Center.
Commissioners meet Thursday at 1:30.
Columbia-based Boone Health leaders urged county commissioners this week to approve the sale of the hospital and most of the health system’s operating assets. 939 the Eagle’s Mike Murphy, the publisher of Comobuz, broke the story and quotes Boone Health officials as saying the deal would bring capital into the system, preserve jobs and current pay and maintain charity-care policies.
2025 statistics from Columbia Regional Economic Development Incorporated (REDI) show Boone Health has 1,400 employees in Columbia/Boone County, making it the seventh-largest employer here.
