A Local Banker Is Calling On Wellmont Health System To Merge With Mountain States Health Alliance. Banctenn Corporate Chairman Bill Greene, Co-Founder Of Bank Of Tennessee And Carter County Bank, Said It Makes Sense To Have One, Locally Owned Hospital System Instead Of Having Two That Are Constantly Competing Against Each Other. Greene Believes The Partnership Would Provide Greater Benefits To Northeast Tennessee And Southwest Virginia By Helping To Keep Revenue Generated Locally Within The Region. Greene Scheduled A Public Forum For This Afternoon At Five O’clock At Kingsport’s Downtown Center For Higher Education On West Market Street.
