Name picked for proposed medical center in Monticello

MONTICELLO – The brand-new hospital planned for Monticello will bear a brand-new name, the hospital board has decided.

But not all of the time-honored old name will vanish.

The John and Mary E. Kirby Hospital would open in its new location and new building as Kirby Medical Center if the state Health Facilities Planning Board approves the building-replacement project.
