VMH Public Forums continue in Allamakee County

Veterans Memorial Hospital (VMH) administration staff continues to visit each Allamakee County community to offer a public forum to update the communities on hospital progress and offer a chance for public input.  

Last fall, residents of Allamakee County overwhelmingly voted to convert the hospital to a county facility. As the hospital was preparing for that county-wide vote, similar public forums were held. At those meetings, it was stated the hospital would do this every year in an effort to offer personal contact with the communities and offer an opportunity for feedback from the general public. These public forums last approximately one hour with a 45-minute presentation, then time for questions, feedback and input from those attending.

Public forums were already held in New Albin and Dorchester October 19, in Postville October 26, and in Waukon October 30. Other forums in Allamakee are scheduled by community, as follows:
• Lansing - Thursday, November 2, 6 p.m. at Lansing Office Works
• Harpers Ferry - Thursday, November 9, 4:30 p.m. at the Ethel Robinson Meehan Community Center
• Waterville - Thursday, November 9, 6:30 p.m. at the Waterville Community Center.

Anyone is welcome to attend these presentations and question and answer sessions. For more information about these public forums, call Veterans Memorial Hospital at 563-568-3411.
