A 24-hour emergency room is set to open by next year in the city's only hospital. The City Council on Thursday approved spending $300,000 toward the project. Kilgore has been without an ER since Laird Memorial Hospital closed its emergency services in 2007. Laird, now Allegiance Specialty Hospital, will be renovated and used to house the new ER. The Roy H. Laird Foundation is putting up $675,000 of its money for the new ER and additional adult psychiatric service at the facility and asked the city for the additional money.
