(Radio Iowa) – There’s another sign of recovery for Greenfield following the May 21st tornado. The Adair County Health System announced it will reopen parts of the hospital in Greenfield on August 12th. The hospital has been closed since the tornado and administrators say substantial repairs have been made and they will start moving out of the Nodaway Valley Elementary School that has been their base of operations since the storm.
The Emergency Room and Medical/Surgical Inpatient Services areas are still being rebuilt and will not be open. The E-M-S garage and house were destroyed by the tornado and they hope to have those rebuild by the summer or fall of 2025.
