Letter: Donations assure ownership is local
Published 9:13 pm Thursday, December 12, 2019
Albert Lea is a caring and great community. I am proud to call this my hometown. Every community deserves affordable medical services and insurance.
Competition and choices are healthy and good for everyone.
Being a retired nurse of Naeve/Mayo, I know we have a great medical team here, and they do a great job.
I was a member of the fundraising committee for Mayo a few years ago. What has happened to our hospital saddens me greatly. Mayo has not kept its promises to this community.
I now support the Albert Lea Health Coalition. These donations assure us of owning the facility that cannot be taken from us, and it will have a local board of trustees.
Thank you again, Mercy One, for coming to Albert Lea.
