Numerous 939 the Eagle listeners have asked what will happen to MU Health Care’s former Women’s and Children’s hospital on Columbia’s Keene, which also used to be known as Columbia Regional Hospital.

Mr. Ransom says there will also be physician offices there. He joined host Fred Parry in-studio for the hour on 939 the Eagle’s “CEO Roundtable.” You can hear the full interview here.
