VMH hosting community forums

Veterans Memorial Hospital administration staff is currently visiting 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 an opportunity for feedback.

Michael Coyle, Veterans Memorial Hospital CEO will be leading these discussions.

These public forums last approximately one hour with a 45 minute presentation, then time for questions, feedback and input from those attending.

Postville’s forum is set for Thursday, Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. at the NE IA Wellness Center Meeting Room.
