A lab test company turned hospital operator may owe hundreds of thousands of dollars to former employees of a rural Tennessee hospital it abruptly shuttered.
A class-action settlement agreement between West Palm Beach, Florida-based Rennova Health and former employees at Jamestown Regional Medical Center in Jamestown, Tennessee, is scheduled for final court approval Sept. 10.
Rennova Health closed the 85-bed hospital in June 2019, the day after CMS cut off Medicare payments when the agency discovered the facility lacked key supplies such as blood and medications. Hundreds of vendors had stopped making deliveries after invoices went unpaid, among other serious operating issues. Rennova did not respond to a request for comment.

CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – On Oct. 17, 2019, Jeremy Greenbaum was rear-ended in a rental car while visiting Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
The 35-year-old Army veteran thought he was fine, and he focused instead on making sure everyone else was OK.
“The police had showed up on scene, paramedics did show. At first, you know injuries with adrenaline, you don’t quite feel it right away. Being that I was out of town and I was with the girl I was seeing at the time, it was just like I knew I was hurt, but I thought I could tough it out until I got back in (to Clarksville),” Greenbaum told Clarksville Now.
