Hutcheson Hospital is in Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Wendy Hagenau approved Hutcheson Medical Center's plan to replace its ER doctors.
Hagenau ruled today that Hutcheson could hire Apollo, a company that provide ER staff to hospitals. The approval was the second part of a two-step process to bring in new doctors.
The first part came last week, when Hagenau ruled that Hutcheson could end its contract with EmCare, the company that had been supplying the emergency department staff.
Court filings show the shift from EmCare to Apollo could happen as soon as 7 a.m. today.
