If you are up in Bolivar County this weekend for MHT’s Delta Drive-In, try to leave time to head up the road to Mound Bayou where you can see the Taborian Hospital, now called Taborian Urgent Care Center, reopened after many years of vacancy and decline. It’s an amazing sight and the product of many passionate people working together to bring life back to this historic building and medical care back to this small Delta community.
If you can’t make it up there, here are some before and after photos of the transformation.
