“We are doing what everybody else does who files for a certificate of need,” said Rick Greene of the form letters circulating in the area.
Greene, with Dobbs Equity Partners, LLC is refering to the request Dobbs is making of local residents who support the planned new hospital.
Greene said Dobbs has a form letter, with information attached about the planned hospital, its location and its focus and those letters are available at the Barnwell County Hospital and other locations for those who wish to pledge their support.

Residents express mixed opinions over the location announcement for the new regional hospital last week.
More than 100 residents voted in a poll on The People-Sentinel’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/thepeoplesentinel, or left comments after Dobbs Equity Partners, LLC announced Jan. 24 the new regional hospital will be built in Bamberg County along U.S. 78 near Ghents Branch Road.
As of press time, 10 people voted they like the planned location, which is two miles outside of Barnwell County, while four said it’s not the best location but will bring positive results.
