Episode Details

Hammond-Henry Hospital is enhancing its campus with a new 40-by-48-foot outbuilding, designed to serve multiple roles for the community and the hospital staff. Hammond-Henry Hospital Foundation Manager Katie Orwig joined Tom Katz on the "Here's to Your Health" segment on Wake Up Tri-Counties. She says the facility will provide much-needed storage, secure parking for hospital vehicles, and two fully furnished studio apartments. These apartments will house visiting medical students and locum providers, helping to reduce hotel costs and improve recruitment. Thanks to $142,000 in generous donations, including the Geneseo Foundation, the Francis G. & Betty J. Miller Foundation, a gift from the Hammond-Henry Hospital Endowment, and the Jo Ann Parsons Memorial, the $400,000 project is moving forward. Construction is underway north of the hospital property.
