Paul Roberson Broker In Charge/Riverside Realty Group

For Martin General Hospital in Williamston, North Carolina’s decision to expand Medicaid came just too late. The emergency room abruptly closed its doors in the eastern North Carolina county that's home to more than 20,000 people in August 2023. The closest hospital is now about a 30-minute drive away. One realtor and longtime resident of Washington, North Carolina says the recent passage of President Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill will keep Martin General from ever opening again. Paul Roberson, Broker in Charge of Riverside Realty Group, joined Jeff Hamlin.
