State Rep. Blaine Wilhour met with Bob Sellers, President of the Clay County Hospital today while in Springfield during legislative session.
“We had a very good meeting about the importance of rural hospitals,” said Wilhour. “It is good to get an update on the great development happening at their medical complex!”
The Clay County Hospital (CCH) is in the midst of several projects estimated at $15.1 million–20 percent provided by the hospital with a matching state grant of $12.1 million. This multi-phase project includes:
- Construction of a Clay County Health Department – 16,056 square feet that
will be located on the northeast corner of the hospital property directly behind
the Flora Rural Health Clinic - Hospital Addition/Expansion – 11,388 square feet addition to the northeast
corner of the hospital. This space will hold Administration, Clinical Educator,

flooring, ceilings, headwalls, and paint. - Nutritional Services Department Renovation – expansion of department for
