LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Recently I was at the Washington County Hospital and as I was leaving I happened to notice all the county license plates OTHER THAN WASHINGTON COUNTY LICENSE PLATES there were. From the main entrance and all along the south side, E. Polk St., I saw a total of 12 other county license plates. Those county plates were Des Moines, Dubuque, Henry, Iowa, Jefferson, Johnson, Keokuk, Linn, Louisa, Muscatine, Van Buren and Wapello!
A huge thank you to our caring WCHC staff who have created such a wonderful health care facility that individuals from a total of 13 counties have a reason to be there. Whether as patients, visitors or staff, the people from those counties chose WCHC. Hopefully some of those individuals will have time to visit our beautiful square and the other special places in Washington, too.
