El Dorado Votes to Save Its Hospital | Wichita News
Description
El Dorado, Kansas, just voted to approve a one percent sales tax—expected to generate $3.5 million annually—to save its local hospital, Susan B. Allen Memorial. The funds will boost staffing, pay, equipment, and operations, ensuring the hospital stays strong for residents and visitors alike. City manager David Dillner noted that 40% of the revenue comes from out-of-town shoppers, easing the burden on locals. This vote signals a community committed to healthcare stability, economic growth, and long-term resilience—though official results are still pending due to county audits.
