Rennova Health, a West Palm Beach, Fla.-based healthcare services provider that also owns and operates rural hospitals, opened a Tennessee office that will house all operations for its hospitals and physician offices in Tennessee and Kentucky.

In a news release, Rennova CEO Seamus Lagan said the office will "make it easier to attract the management team and employees we require to centralize a number of services like financial management, revenue cycle management and purchasing."
