Sue Hutchison's comments on Westlake Regional Hospital were well spoken and to be echoed by George Rice, as I, too, have recently spent some days at the hospital and as usual was treated with much professional care. Just because some PAST bad management caused much hardship on the hospital and we Adair County residents are suffering the consequences, it seems that would be ample reason for our Adair County residents and hopefully local doctors to stick together and support the our hospital. It seems that we have some great men striving to save our hospital and once again making if function properly. I would plead with Adair Citizens and local doctors: Let's support and save this valuable establishment. WE NEED THIS HOSPITAL. And a hospital can't operate without patients. Let's quit bad mouthing and acknowledge the good. --George Rice
