After changing hands in August, Cumberland River Hospital has announced its clinic will reopen November 15.

The Celina hospital closed March 1, with Cookeville Regional Medical Center officials saying the decision was made after years of insufficient revenue from declining reimbursements and declining patient numbers.

CRMC purchased the hospital for roughly $6 million in 2012, ultimately investing $12 million in the facility. The closure left approximately 146 employees out of work.

Longtime healthcare provider Johnny Presley of Crossville purchased CRH for $200,000 after the facility shut down. Presley said the clinic at the hospital will reopen in mid-November, and the hospital itself has received a tentative opening date.

“The clinic will be open November 15 with the hospital having a tentative open on January 1, 2020, assuming everything goes fine,” Presley said. “Maybe a little quicker, but it all depends on Medicare.”

The clinic will be taking new patients, offering lab work, and Presley said they are checking into being able to offer outpatient comprehensive labs for nursing homes.

Presley previously said he plans to open the hospital again in phases, with the first being a clinic in the hospital. The next phase would be reopening the emergency room. The third phase would be acute care and geropsych unit, something Presley hopes to expand from the previous eight beds that the hospital could hold under its license.
