AN UNUSUAL SOCIAL EVENT

This past Sunday marked another year of a social gathering that has been going on for about 10 years or more. It is quite a spectacle to observe. Men arrive around 5:00 a.m., sign in and register and then are herded through the corridors of Floyd Memorial Hospital to various stations. They end up at the final destination where they will “drop their drawers”, bend over the table and get digitalized; all in the name of prostate screening.

It is a wonderful service and very well organized thanks to the leadership of Mrs. Raake and her staff. From the public perspective, we appreciate the hard work and dedication of the employees that participate in this event. We also appreciate the physicians who volunteer their time and services as well.

As a reminder, the Board of Trustees has a public meeting once a month to discuss the hospital related issues. Although it is rare for any of the public to attend, the meetings are considered open. The next meeting is tonight and is held at the hospital beginning around 5:00 p.m. The current Board members include

Mrs. K. Garry
Mr. Robert Kleehammer
Mr. Von Marshall
Dr. Daniel Eichenberger
Mr. Darrell Mills
Mr. David Atkins
Mrs. M. Garner
