Do not fill this in! ==Economy== In the past, Paris was a major cotton exchange, and the county was developed as cotton plantations. While cotton is still farmed on the lands around Paris, it is no longer a major part of the economy. Paris's one major hospital has two campuses: Paris Regional Medical Center South (formerly St. Joseph's Hospital) and Paris Regional Medical Center North (formerly McCuistion Regional Medical Center). It serves as the center of healthcare for much of Northeast Texas and Southeast Oklahoma. Both campuses are now operated jointly under the name of the Paris Regional Medical Center, a division of Essent Healthcare. Paris Regional Medical Center South Campus has recently closed and only the North Campus remains open. The health network is one of the largest employers in the Paris area.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://parisedc.com/major-employers/|title=Major employers|website=parisedc.com|access-date=April 17, 2017|archive-date=April 18, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170418162044/https://parisedc.com/major-employers/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Outside of healthcare, the largest employers are [[Kimberly-Clark]] and [[Campbell Soup]]. {|class="wikitable" |- ! # !
