## Resource

Jackson Hospital is making a bold move, asking Montgomery County for a lifeline to stay afloat and plan for the future — including a new property tax referendum, a $4.2 million funding injection, and a long-term commitment to funnel 70% of new tax revenue toward its care. This isn’t just about survival — it’s about securing the hospital’s role in the community for years to come, and the County Commission must decide soon whether to say yes.
