Miami County considers four sites for new hospital
Miami County and Olathe Medical Center Inc. partner to study four possible locations for a new Miami County Hospital. Two sites are near Osawatomie and two near Paola, with discussions of a site near Louisburg. Proposed Paola points include the main exit off US-169 and the junction of US-169 with K-68. One Osawatomie site uses a 36 acre state donated tract and another sits north of Osawatomie State Hospital. Bill Johns offers land for donation at the second Osawatomie site. The interlocal agency will oversee construction, funded by Olathe Medical Center loans and county revenue bonds.
