(BLOUNTSTOWN, Fla., Monday, July 14, 2025) – After years of per-severance, collaboration, and a shared vision for a healthier future, Calhoun Liberty Hospital (CLH) will officially open its new 50,000-square-foot facility to the community on July 31, 2025. The new hospital marks a significant milestone in the region’s healthcare recovery and brings a brighter future for the people of Calhoun and Liberty Counties. The original Calhoun Liberty Hospital, which opened in 1961, provided essential healthcare services to the rural communities of Calhoun and Liberty Counties. At that time, the facility covered 24,000 square feet. However, when Hurricane Michael devastated the region in 2018, the hospital was severely impacted, and usable space was reduced to just 13,000 square feet.
Since then, the community has rallied together with federal and state agencies to rebuild, focusing on both restoring what was lost and expanding access to cutting-edge care for the future.
“This new hospital is a testament to our community’s resilience and our unwavering commitment to ensuring that healthcare is accessible to all residents of our region for generations to come,” said Mark Plummer, Chairman of the Calhoun Liberty Hospital Association. “Through the dedication of our team and the incredible support we’ve received, we’ve turned a setback into an opportunity for greater healthcare access, more jobs, and a brighter future.”
Vision of Growth: Increased Access to Advanced Healthcare
With the new 50,000-square-foot facility, CLH is not just rebuilding – it’s expanding. The new hospital will offer an array of state-of-the-art that include: services
- Emergency services with advanced equipment
- Private patient rooms for inpatient care and short-term transitional rehabilitation
- Three flexible clinical decision rooms
- Comprehensive rehabilitative services, including physical, occupational, car-diac, and pulmonary therapy
