To the editor,

As a lifetime resident of Morrow County and a physician at Morrow County Hospital for 34 years, I have had the opportunity to see how the community has grown. Morrow County Hospital has been a cornerstone for the community throughout these years and has provided the great care we have needed.

Morrow County Hospital has a levy renewal on the ballot this November. There are no additional taxes. The levy allows the hospital to keep great care local, here in Morrow County, and to continue serving this community.

We are fortunate to have a hospital so close to home. As a physician, I have seen the positive impact staying close to home has on a patient’s recovery and family. I encourage all county residents to vote in support of the levy.
