Sergeants at Arms

Our speaker, Jeff Rocket (Parkview) and Scott Gabrielle (Parkview) were introduced by Brad Voelz.
Details were shared on the new construction of the hospital. Covid delayed the started BUT helped shape the vision and revisions to what a good facility would look like. A walk through of the new building, and the remodel of the existing structure were shared. There remains, by plan, some space in each for future needs. OBGYN is a pressing need, but staffing remains the single most issue that needs resolved. Question and Answer session was spirited, while the #1 point of interest seemed to be the construction crane operator, his work day, and his need for exercise and relief at a high altitude.

Jeff and Scott did relate that the new building would be featuring photos of the community, as submitted by the community. Here is the link for photo submission for the Parkview Kosciusko project. The deadline for photo submissions is November 1, 2022. Photos should be submitted to Kosciuskoart@parkview.com.

Next Week’s Program will be Brent Hope with the Bradley Hotel
