Under Lewis’ leadership, Georgia-based HomeTown Health has
expanded to a network of rural hospitals, healthcare providers and
business partners across 17 states. His strategic vision has been
pivotal in fostering collaboration among 60 hospitals throughout
the Southeast and driving initiatives to effectively serve rural
patient communities.
“Having partnered with Jimmy for more than two decades, it is an
honor to recognize his invaluable contributions to healthcare and
the patients ultimately served,” said David Osborn, Ph.D., Senior
Vice President of Account Management & Sales at HealthTrust.
“It is undeniable that Jimmy’s relentless advocacy and steadfast
dedication have made a remarkable impression on the rural
healthcare community. He is an exemplary recipient most deserving
of this Legacy Award.”
In addition to his leadership at HomeTown Health, Lewis has been
fundamental in passing key legislation and regulation for rural
healthcare providers — including hospital-based nursing homes,
state merit, PPS and critical access hospitals — which have been
critical to their survival. For 25 years, HealthTrust has partnered
with HomeTown Health to support these rural healthcare providers in
delivering high-quality care.
