St. Mary's Health Care officials have completed a deal to purchase land in Greene County to build a new Good Samaritan Hospital.

Good Samaritan interim President Montez Carter said officials are on track to clear land and break ground before July.

St. Mary's officials said they have also selected a project management firm to handle construction of the new hospital and are in the final stages of selecting an architect.

The new hospital will be on 24 acres of land on Georgia Highway 44 between West Lake Road and Carey Station Road.
