Georgia Health News is our weekly feature that keeps you up to date on what's happening in health around the state. Andy Miller is editor of the online news site, Georgia Health News, and Victoria Knight is our health reporter. Today, they're discussing two towns -- one who became a ghost town after its rural hospital closed, and another who is rallying around its hospital, trying to avoid the same fate.
