  • The hospital reported more than 200 employees and a $48 million local impact.
  • Mizell’s website still shows accepting new patients and expanded clinic access in 2026.

What critics are saying

  • Chapter 11 filed April 29, 2026; creditors can force painful restructuring by August.
  • A March 2026 judgment and exhausted City of Opp credit line squeeze liquidity.
  • Failure to confirm a plan risks liquidation and loss of Opp’s sole hospital.

What makes Mizell Memorial Hospital unique
