During a Hopkins County Memorial Hospital board meeting, CHRISTUS representatives raised ethical and religious directive questions focused on sterilization procedures performed in the hospital, according to the report.

CHRISTUS Health is a Catholic, faith-based, not-for-profit health system. The solution the two providers came to would shift these procedures to a new, $2 million ASC. The hospital is seeking help to fund the new project.
