“LifePoint’s mission is making communities healthier, and Clark Regional’s new facility will ensure people throughout this region have access to the best, most innovative care possible,” said LifePoint President and Chief Executive Officer William F. Carpenter III. “We expect to create a facility where patients choose to come for healthcare, physicians want to practice and employees want to work. We look forward to serving the people of Clark County and beyond as we build for the future.”
