| From June 1943 to 1988, Jackson Osteopathic Hospital served Jackson and its surrounding communities as a short-term acute care hospital. In 1988, following the addition of MDs to the staff; Jackson Osteopathic Hospital became Doctors Hospital and remained a quality short-term acute care hospital until 2003. It was then converted into a long-term acute care hospital (LTACH) called CareLink of Jackson, continuing the building’s healthcare legacy. CareLink of Jackson
first admitted patients on July 7, 2003. In February of the following year, CareLink completed the six-month demonstration period, and attained LTACH certification on March 1, 2004. |
