Stacey and Catherine gave an excellent summary of all things

Hospital, lots on the go. In the coming year, look for renovations to

Emergency Dept. (designed for 25,000 visits, actual 45,000 visits!),

rebuilding of the Dialysis Unit, and (thanks to the Auxiliary)

refreshing the Main Lobby.

Catherine advised

that, since 1987,

RCO has given the

hospital 38 gifts for

a total of $277,720

moving us from

"Builder" to

"Master Builder"!
