Huggins Hospital Opening New State-of-the-Art Critical Access Facility

We were at the Huggins ribbon cutting ceremony and enjoyed seeing the new facility. The physical plant seemed great! Many staff members and technicians were there too. Some expounded on many new capabilities of Huggins!

Personally I strongly support using University teaching hospitals for the more major procedures and treatments. There certainly are many other illnesses and procedures that can be done locally. Also sometimes hospitals save lives by being able to stabilize and move. Certainly Huggins is not trying to be a state of the art facility in all areas as that would not be cost effective.

Any improvements in medical care are to be applauded and greatly appreciated. There was also a very nice lunch with small sanwiches and desserts and cold drinks. Thank you to all who made this ribbon cutting ceremony and tour and lunch possible. There are boards for those who have made donations and it was a bit disappointing to not see more names. If any of the financially fortunate who have used Huggins are reading this and would like to make a donation, I am sure it would be greatly appreciated.
