The public is invited to a listening session for CoxHealth and Mercy Springfield Communities' newly announced pediatric partnership.
The public listening session is scheduled 5:30 p.m. tomorrow at Jarrett Middle School, 906 W. Portland St., according to a news release. A joint Facebook event is being held at the same time.
"Mercy Springfield Communities President David Argueta and CoxHealth President and CEO Max Buetow will join a panel of health care experts and community leaders in answering questions about the project," officials said in the release.
Last month, CoxHealth and Mercy announced the issuance of a request for proposal for a full-service pediatric partner for the partnership. The health systems have a goal of filling gaps in pediatric care locally.
“CoxHealth and Mercy have a vision for a stand-alone children’s hospital in this community," Buetow said at the time.
A safe room and classroom addition at Willard Central Elementary School will be used by the music, arts and athletic programs for a district that had 4,536 students last year, according to Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education figures, but school officials say enrollment is projected to grow.
