	Biographical/Historical:	**DEACCESSIONED** Clay Memorial Hospital was located in Clay County in the city of Green Cove Springs, Florida. The hospital opened in 1959 and closed in 1992. Clay Memorial Hospital was a public, non-profit hospital authorized by Florida Chapter Law 30280 passed in 1955. This law created the Clay County Hospital District and the Clay County Hospital Authority, and authorized the construction of a public hospital in Green Cove Springs, Florida. The facility was constructed on a 25 acre site donated by the Reinholt family. The Clay County Hospital Authority contracted with Methodist Hospital to manage the hospital in 1976. In 1986 Park healthcare took over the management. In July 1991, with the hospital facing increasing financial problems, Clay Medical, Inc. was formed. Clay Medical took over management of the existing facilities and planned to build a new hospital. In March 1992 Clay Medical discontinued its efforts. The hospital closed temporarily on August 5, 1992. The Clay County Hospital Authority in an attempt to reopen, contacted with a private maanagement company, AmeriHealth. The hospital reopened in October 1992. However, AmeriHealth lasted only one month. The hospital closed permanently on November 9, 1992. Although the Clay County Hospital Authority pursued many different options, the hospital was unable to reopen. Chapter Law 97-79 repealed Chapter 30280 (1955) and terminated the Clay County Hospital District and the Clay County Hospital Authority.
