ABOUT THIS EPISODE
For more than a decade, Mayor Sheldon Day fought to bring a hospital back to Thomasville, Alabama.
He raised money. Navigated regulations. Survived setbacks. And eventually, against the odds, his small rural community built a brand-new hospital.
Then it opened... in March 2020.
Right Place, Wrong Time is the story of what happened next—and what Thomasville’s struggle reveals about the economics of rural healthcare in America. Mayor Day takes us inside a fight that has consumed years of his life, as a community determined to save its hospital confronts a system that can make keeping one open feel nearly impossible.
Because sometimes doing everything right still isn’t enough.
