Lunch for the public is on the menu again at the Jackson County Hospital District.
The hospital has completed its cafeteria expansion project and is celebrating its grand re-opening this week. The cafeteria dining room reopened to the public on Monday, the new drivethrough window is scheduled to open on March 10, and an open house will be held sometime during the last week of March.
From design to completion, the roughly $3.6 million project has taken about 18 months. The hospital received about $600,000 in grants and used some of its reserves to cover the remaining $3 million, Jackson County Hospital District CEO Lance Smiga said.
