STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) – Oktibbeha County supervisors can move forward with their plans to sell OCH Regional Medical Center.

The board did not receive any petitions opposing the sale of the hospital by a 5 p.m. deadline on October 10.

Board of Supervisors President Marvell Howard told WCBI the next step for the board is approving a request for proposals, or RFPs.

Once the RFPs are released, private health care systems may submit proposals to the board for consideration to purchase.

Following a public meeting in September, the board voted to put the hospital up for sale.

Howard said there’s no specific timeline in place.
