Need to keep local hospital, ER

At 11 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 23, my 35-year-old adult daughter had a severe attack of vertigo. We rushed her to Dickinson County Memorial Hospital’s emergency room, where she received several tests, multiple medications and was observed for several hours before being released at approximately 4 a.m. I note that the emergency room was slammed with too many patients, but Dickinson County Healthcare System personnel provided excellent and efficient care.

So my question to the Dickinson County Commissioners — and, in particular, to Henry Wender — is where do I take my daughter if she has another attack of vertigo at night and you vote not to provide financing to keep DCHS open?
