What makes Red River County different: Red River County has had no operating hospital within its borders since Clarksville General Hospital closed in 2014; the long-planned Red River General Hospital remains unopened, so the county's ~3,600 Medicare beneficiaries depend on out-of-county facilities, primarily 154-bed Paris Regional Health about 30 miles away in Lamar County.
